Attached photo's are of a parade shield with a rolled rim. You see this type of shield with a brass edge that is riveted on and also with the rolled steel rim. In my minds eye the rolled steel rim the mark of a slightly better made armour.

This shield also has a chiseled floral decoration and is further embelished with gold and silver koftgari, also has silver sheet overlay on the calligraphy only.
