Foreign Volunteer Arm Shield-Turkistan Legion

Foreign Volunteer Arm Shield-Turkistan Legion

Code: 56270

SOLD

An unusual variation of the Foreign Volunteer Arm Shield for the Turkistan Legion, the third design and issued in 1944.

The design shows a mosque and above the mosque are the words 'Tanri Biz Meneni", meaning "God is With Us". Very scarce shield.

This is the first I have seen being a printed oval Shield attached to a rectangular green cotton backing by means of a white embroidered oval surround.

Very good unissued condition and acquired by a French collector in the Normandy area along with others I will be listing.
