For instance it misses the "knob" in the middle.
Also is the edge a bit more curving upwards as seen on the usual Aceh shields....
Maurice, nice shield.
Very nice patina. I guess it can turn out this way if it is not cleaned for 100 years.

What is the diameter + weight ?

Best regards,
Willem

Bonjour,

If you check the search function for "peurise" you will find various threads about these shields.

Members who want to post pictures here are also welcome ofcourse.

Best regards,
Willem

Me neither.

PS I think it is a very rare version of Aceh shield. Never have seen any of these in a private collection, and it has a higher outer rim as the normal brass shields.

Look at the image of the Colonial Institute Amsterdam. You can see similar peurises with higher rim hanging on the wall..
