To the left is a 1920s silver circumcision shield by Bezalel.  It measures 6.5 cm in length, a bit longer than other clamps.  The Bezalel School is the premier art academy in Israel, known for its art nouveau-influenced designs.  






Below is a simple circumcision shield.  It is unmarked.  The eBay vendor is from Israel.

This is a embossed German shield from the early 20th century.



















To the left is a circumcision shield from Fred Haslam & Co., Brooklyn, New York, c. 1900.  The catalog price was 90 cents.

The shield below is an obvious and poorly-made counterfeit.  It is too small and flimsy to be of practical use, measuring 3x5 cm.  The metal, presumably silver, is malleable.  There are multiple small imprints, including "1894" and "84."

I purchased this item because it was inexpensive and illustrates the fakes available on eBay.  When the seller from Germany first shipped the shield to me, the package was lost.  His reply was, "Don't worry, I have two of them!"  He sent me another one of these "rare" items.  I have followed his auctions:  he has dozens of these counterfeit shields.  Keep reading--there is a CircCentral page devoted to counterfeit Judaica.
