Estonian Shield

Hi guys I have a one question. This shield on photo is a repro or original?

Hi !
I think fantasy production is it , texture is too , i see , not standard

It is not a fantasy product because these printed shields really excisted and came to use in 1944. Several different shapes of these shields were produced but the shape shown above was usually printed on a very thin silk-like cloth. It is very hard to tell if the shield You posted was made during the war or later. It is rare and easy to produce so if You see one for sale in webshop then my advice is that You consider it as a fake. Different story when You have a chance to buy it directly from a vet or his relatives (which ofcourse doesn't definately mean that it is authentic aswell).
