Photos 30 – 34: The painting of the front side of the shield. The outer part was painted in the same manner as the other metallic parts. The inner circle was all painted freehand, including the blue design. These were shadowed in the usual manner. While the inner layer was left matt, the outer one was given a coat of gloss varnish.
