I was interested in buying this Krim shield but I'm not familiar with all the characteristics of the campaign shields. This one is being offered by a reputable dealer online (no more ebay for me) I can't provide anymore photo's. It looks right based on what I've seen in reference books with a wool backing, zinc plate, and flat prongs. But maybe I'm missing something obvious. Any opinions are appreciated. Also what would be a reasonable price range for something like this. Thanks, Al.
can anyone identify this device?
it is a little under 10" long
it appears to fit the muzzle of a firearm
the tube on the end has a fine thread to screw it on; there is a
3/8" hole in the centre of the tube
the two hinged pieces attached by the threaded screw are marked
S499 and the bottom of the is marked L 26. No acceptance marks
it has been suggested it may be an early grenade launcher

Hi Guys, here is an item which is fresh from a garage this weekend. It comes from a neighbour of my parents. It is now resides in my collection cool militaria The lady who discovered it knows I collect and took it around to my Mum. I believe it was her Uncle's during WW2 and he was a driver in the Army. Tomorrow I will go around to say thank you and see if I can add some more details.
The compass is not in full working order. But a friend of mine works for the MOD in this department ;)
The black paint finish has been deliberatly removed, as is common, in order to "bull it up" and shine the brass.
It is maker marked "TG Co Ltd London" and is dated 1942.
