The buckler or domed could be hung from the sword scabbard when two hands were needed for a pike or staff weapon. So widespread was its use, that the exercise of sword and buckler became one of the most common sports of the Renaissance. Armed with the buckler and substituting whalebone for the sword, competitors flailed at each other amid the boisterous cheers of large crowds (they were not allowed to hit the legs, this was reserved for real combat). Dia.-16". Wt.-3 3/4 lbs. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts of 18 gauge steel.
