The Philadelphia Museum has previously restituted objects from the arms collection it received from von Kienbusch. In 2000, it returned five works of armor from the Kretzchmar gift to the Dresden State Art Collections in Germany. As part of the agreement, the two institutions arranged a series of exchange loans through which works by Gustave Courbet, Claude Monet and Henri Matisse were temporarily sent to Dresden. (English)

After the occupation of the Czech Lands in 1939, the Nazis seized Konopiste and sent the collections to Prague from where the shield was transported to Vienna. Its further post-war fate is unknown. However, in 1976, collector of German origin Carl Otto Kretzschmar von Kienbusch, living in New York, left it to the Philadelphia Museum, along with other artifacts in his collection, tachles writes.
