Round Metal Buckler

As the Middle Ages gave way to the Renaissance, wood shields gradually yielded in popularity to steel shields, such as this round, steel buckler. A terrific asset for mercenaries in crashing through lines of pikemen, this shield was easily maneuverable and strong. The small steel domed shield remained popular from the 13th to the 17th century. Many soldiers preferred this to the full-size shield to be able to move more quickly. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts of 18 gauge steel with leather grips. Minor assembly required.

"Very good. Padding might be a suggestion for the manufacturer."


S - Verified Buyer


"The metal is good on the shield, but it is painted black on the inside. The straps aren't great but it's easy to replace them with better quality ones."


R - Verified Buyer


"With the exception of a rather rude revelation that, with a shield on my forearm, something arrives at my face about a foot sooner than it does otherwise, it's great. It looks good on the wall, feels good in my hands, and hopefully will serve me well. (I am looking into historical fencing) I do have a minor problem with my forearm being a little too snug in the larger arm loop, but I don't think you could change that without making it too loose for others. It's a beautiful shield and well worth the price I think. If I had to change any one thing, I would probably go for a steel and wood hand grip, with the leather arm loop adjustable by buckle. "

"nice, little weight but rugged "


D - Verified Buyer


"Being made from 18 gauge (not 16 gauge) steel, it isn't as strong as I would have hoped. It does it's job admirably however, but if you fight hard the shield will dent and bend."
