Medieval Steel Buckler Shield – Norse/Norway/Medieval/Antique/Armor

fresh from the forge, is a new hand-forged Medieval Shield made of heavy 18-gauge steel and wood! This buckler shield is powerfully built, with a domed boss in the center and reinforced steel around the rim and side edges. It measures over 11 inches across, a perfect size for quick one-handed wielding. The backside of the shield comes with a leather-wrapped solid iron handle that makes manufacturing the shield natural and easy. This type of shield saw heavy use in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance both on the battlefield by swordsman and archers that needed something small and quick to defend themselves with.
