Two Good Moro Shields

[Spunjer]

i'm not sure if it was patina or yellow pigment, charles. it's been awhile since i took these pics. i do remember the shield itself was ultralight, almost like balsa wood..

Maurice, That shield looks to have been broken in to at some point and rejoined or glued back(note the line running all along the top third of the shield...inside and out). That makes me very suspicious about the paint job being so perfect, not to mention the inside condition is almost too much better than the outside....something doesn't quite seem right there for me.

Yes Charles, they indeed also told it had been restored and it was broken.
I don't know about the paint....
Unfortunately I don't have any better images or close ups to show here..

Too bad about the break, but it's a good thing that all the pieces are present.
Unlike this one......

you still have this piece, albert? i remember you posting this awhile back. i would love to see this particular shield in all of its glory..

Yup, it's still with me. I like it too much to part with it.
