Part of the fascination of shields is the skill needed to inlet them. Opinions vary, some connoisseurs prefer the shield to be slightly raised, other like me take the opposite position, flush or sunk amongst a topography of Stag... This GEC shield has been shown before but my 83 never fails to impress me by the skill and audacity with which the shield has been inlet.

Too bad GEC doesn't elect to do this anymore

Really Unexcelled Peerless

Love the thread idea, waited all week to get some time with the wife away to pull out some of my favorites. I think that Houndstooth is my current #1 favorite though.

The good 'ol bullet shield does it for me.

Keeping the bullet theme going, I just picked up this Camillus .22 Hornet.

Same shield as above, with "wings":

The double square with wings is my favorite of the RR's especially on more "working" knife patterns. Reminds me of something from the late 40's-50's

Wow that's a cool shield and knife Will!
