Thought I'd hop in with a few. Maybe these have been posted, didn't go through all the posts.

Been trying for years to find out about the "FARMERS GUIDE" shield. Might have been a premium for a subscription or something to that effect. ?? Any help welcome. J.O'.

Generally, a simple, plain shield looks best, IMHO...but sometimes the super detailed shields are pretty cool too.

Like the Smith & Wesson shield on this Mini Trapper:
PA250012.JPG
PA250001.JPG

I can make out the "S" and the "W" from a distance, but the closer I get, the more it looks like some kind of abstract art or Arabic writing.
