Those name plates on the wooden surround have all been removed these days and have been replaced by an engraved flat silver surround.

Trying to track down one of these programmes would seem to be your best bet

(Pedant) It is the same shield that was the charity shield that is now called the community shield. Just look how many winners are engraved around the shield, the Community shield has only been going for about 14 years. The original winners names were all transcribed across to the new surround.



Like others I have searched and failed to find a close up of the original charity shield, that is legible. Sorry.

(Pedant) the current shield has the word COMMUNITY on it, the one we won in 1910 had the word CHARITY on it so it is not the same shield that was the Charity Shield

Unless the name was polished out and re-engraved then clearly you are right.

Top spot there :D

Although this picture has the flat engraved silver surround along with the word Charity on the shield itself.



Just how many shields are there?
