Exceedingly difficult to find - an original Heart Shield Bible, from 1943 when these shields were sold (The shield / bible itself is also dated 1943) WITH!! the original maling box; it was a gift to the soldier from his wife or mother Joyce, in december 1943 (see inscription). The bible is named to Jerald A Jackson, from Wilsonville, Alabama. Both the bible and box are in nice condition; the cover has a beautiful patina and almost all of the gold finish still. The metal plates were to prevent a bullet from reaching the soldier’s heart (which they did on several occasions. surface of the bible has a great patina and has the text: ''May this keep you safe from harm''. This is by far one of the nicest we have ever offered for auction. A very nice 100% original item for your US WW2 collection; will for sure be a centerpiece in your collection!
