Looks like a texmodded daedal shield.
EDIT: As for the pinging anyone can type out "I'm wielding xxx Sword of xxx and xxx Shield of xxx!"

I was under the impression that texmod only modified the game on your specific machine (not modify the .dll which could get you banned); that it would only change for your character on your system while looking completely normal to other players... so if the person was using texmod to generate that shield, wouldn't it look like whatever sheild the character was actually holding to everyone else?
Pinging means holding down the left ctrl button and clicking on the weaponslot for the game to announce via the chat window what you are using as weapons. You can also do this to ping a build (skill bar) when running with groups, especially common in PUGs.

I have never heard of such a shield. It's definitely not Texmod (on their end), since Texmod only alters the user's side.
The only 3 things that I can think of are A) this is a genuinely legit shield, B) the OP made this shield via Texmod and is trying to start a rumor (the hoax shield from 3-4 years ago, anyone??), or C) this was a scheme concocted by the OP and a friend of his/hers, where they both have the Texmod file running.
Having said that, I looked on Wiki and there's nothing on it (yet?).
Seeing as how the Monk in question is in fact Japanese-named, chances are this is pretty legit. We'll just have to wait and see until more info gets brought up.

What is it the first anniversary of? I can't think of anything that could fit the description of the shield.
You're gonna have to shower me with evidence if you want me to believe this exists.

I applaud the skeptical nature of you guys. Those are great skills in life when faced with half the crap and misinformation that spreads over the internet.

This is all i got, and im not trying to convince anyone - actually i dont give a dime if u believe me or not - i just wanted to know if anyone of you knew anything about this shield?
As Jonnie says, there isnt any info on the wiki(s) - but maybe someone on guru knew anything?

This shield, perhaps, could possibly be old and was given out quite some time ago and it just never really got mentioned? We need Regina to confirm and/or deny this. That, or have other people post their screens from their personal experience. :\

After seeing mention of the "terror shield" incident I looked it up on the GuildWiki and something written there caught my attention:
"The hoax was perpetrated by a user who edited his game world using a tool called GW Texture Editor so that, in his client, Tower Shields appeared as "Terror Shields." Because of this, it was easy to create screenshots and videos of the shield in game. The Terror Shield texture was created from two different wall textures used on the Isle of the Dead Guild Hall which were edited together."
I'm not saying that this is how that shield appeared... but it could easily be a texmod (or variant of) on someone's game that changes whatever sheild that person is carrying to look like the pictures taken. Just a thought.
Edit: Here's the link where I found it
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Terror_Shield

If you use texmod to alter your graphics, and then take a screenie, it looks exactly like what you see. If you then post that screenie on guru...
That's right... you guessed it... it doesn't magically change to the non-modded graphic.

No problem, ashes, I scored a nifty wallpaper while I was poking around the Japanese GW website, so it was time well spent

If it was just texmoded, then the other player would have no reason to fake the ping.
And yes, there are a couple random weapons exclusive to Asia (like those coke weapons).
Xsiriss
Unless of course both were using the same text mod an just wanna get messing.
Otherwise, if in doubt call it hax.

I was going to suggest that someone who spoke both Japanese and English talk to the guy who had it but who couldn't speak English, but since it seems to be confirmed now, it's probably moot.
I didn't actually look at the link yet (and is it in Japanese? Because I know nothing about that language...), but if the shield is like many of the old bonus weapons and has useless mods, that might explain why it's not often seen.
Just random speculation.
Oh, and excellent catch, ashes.
Right now, I am going on AGF (assume good faith), mostly because ashes doesn't seem to be a troll, he's been skeptical of it himself, and there seems to be official website proof. If it turns out to be a hoax, well then all I can say is that I have to admire the dedication, but right now I'm assuming that all is well and good, and that this is yet another thing for rabid gw-researchers (like Konig and that crowd) to entertain themselves with.

And that doesn't even cover the possibility of TWO people in on the gag.

I believe this is the kanji you are looking for, it means one (ichi), which makes sense, 1st anniversary.....
(and the links worked fine for me in firefox)

Look at how many people chime in claiming to own one or have sold one. It kind of reminds me of how a few days before the GW anniversary, a bunch of people are walking around Kamadan claiming to be selling or trying to buy anniversary pets because "some beta testers already got them early...".
