Art Posted September 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2020 Thought I would start a thread on just Heart Shield Bibles. I want to show as many different styles as possible I will share whats in my wife's collection & also photos of different styles of covers from EBay & the internet.

Art Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted September 9, 2020 May the Lord be with you This is unusual since it's made for a Jewish bible. It has a reverse style cover mounting so it aligns just right with the way a Jewish bible was laid out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted September 10, 2020 Share #12 Posted September 10, 2020 Great Thread! I didn't realize there were so many variations. The Jewish one is really interesting. Thanks for posting these. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share #13 Posted September 11, 2020 This Bible had a couple of letters in it. This letter is from his Mom who is giving him the Bible and she talks about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share #14 Posted September 11, 2020 I believe these 2 Bibles are from the Korean War. Metal front & back. The Bible cloth cover is a silver gray. Neither of these have a publishing date but one has a 1953 inscription inside & the other was in a mailer that was postmarked 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinO Posted September 11, 2020 Share #18 Posted September 11, 2020 Not to derail too much, but if you fast-forward to 34 minutes in, this fella shows off the one that saved his life in Normandy. https://memory.loc.gov/diglib/vhp/story/loc.natlib.afc2001001.24600/?fbclid=IwAR0Qwivr554u-TIpLcs2n8iQLdovZS-JpfW-t-SW4WhcCK71Q_okEYlSG2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbmilitaria Posted September 15, 2020 Share #19 Posted September 15, 2020 Great thread. I've always liked these New Testaments and never realized how many variations there were. This thread needs to be pinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, Would love to find one to go with my metal-cased bible. Thanks for posting that rare one. z On 9/9/2020 at 3:11 PM, Art said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share #21 Posted November 26, 2022 Tonight I was able to search entire Sears Catalogs from 1940's & 50's. I made some cool discoverys. Sears sold Heart Shield Bible in 1943 & 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share #22 Posted November 26, 2022 And the metal covered Bibles in this post were sold from 1950-1955. So puts them in Korean War years definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otter42 Posted November 28, 2022 Share #23 Posted November 28, 2022 I bought this year's ago on ebay. The man's group was being broken up, and this was all I managed to get. I took screen shots of his awards. Pretty amazing career of Edwin R. Jarrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
