NOTE:

If you have acquired a S****y Riot Shield at Banky’s Dismaland gift shop they may have some added residual value…if so here is some additional information.

The Dismaland editions are marked
SRS X DL1 ( edition of 60 plus 10 APs ) 67cm diameter
SRS X DL2 ( edition of 40 plus 10 APs ) 60cm diameter.

All shields are appropriated UK police riot shields, meaning they have been used by the police in actual riots or riot training.
All the shields are hand painted by the artist and a small team of acid house experts in South London.

Caring for your shield.
Do not clean off the marks on the front of the shield or fill in the cracks in the plastic, as these are actual battle scars and add to the provenance.
All shields are originally roughly made in the North of England so parts might fall off from time to time or the shield may simply rot away or disintegrate.
All shields are slightly different as they are all hand painted.
It is not a crime to own a s****y riot shield unless you are using it in a riot, in which case you will probably be arrested and the shield will be confiscated and destroyed.
Over time your shield may increase or decrease in value depending on the artistic status of Jimmy Cauty.
Keep the certificate of authenticity in a safe place just in case you decide to sell your shield in the future, remember without the certificate the shield is just a worthless piece of police plastic.
