Large Buckler Shield from Medieval Shoppe Australia

The buckler is comfortable to hold. There is ample space in the boss for the hand to fit without a problem. The grip itself is a sheet of steel sandwiched between curved wood. The general shape of the buckler is very well formed. The buckler was spun to shape, a process where the buckler is ground while rotating at a very high speed. This process allows the shields to be mass produced with less time and effort involved, which helps keep the price down. The drawback to this non-historical method is that it leaves the face “too perfect” for a true replica – someone involved in living history or reenactment who has a high demand for historical accuracy should take note of this, but it is the only fault we could find. The rivets holding the grip down are nicely domed with no sharp spots, and the rim is rolled back so that there are no dangerous edges. For martial arts purposes this is important to help ensure safety. The rear of the buckler is painted a flat black, which is a period solution for preventing rust.
