Description
GERMAN IRON SNIPER'S SHIELD
Rare, intact World War I German sniper's shield, a large iron sheet 24 1/2" x 17 1/2" and about 3/16" thick. The shield remains fully operable with a fold-out supporting leg at front and a metal flap which covers the 6 1/4" tall oval opening through which the sniper would fire his weapon. The right and left sides of the shield are bent slightly outward to deflect any ricochet away from those immediately to the right and left of the sniper. Interestingly, there is a hole caused by a high-velocity bullet or piece of shrapnel on the inside of the shield! Excavated with little loss due to corrosion, repainted and very good.
