Shields

A requested gift from my wife and I could not be happier.  Solid construction and authenticity.  

I am a history professor and I use it in my Military History class to let the students get a "feel" for what it was like to hold a shield in the shield wall (and of course it gives me an excuse to play with it!)

My wife bought this for me for Christmas (under my guidance of course).  Good, solid, historically accurate and very well made.  I am going to use this in my military history classes to show how the Norsemen fought in the shield wall.  Very satisfied!!

Wow--So worth the wait! This item was on back order and didn't make it in time for my son's birthday, but that's fine, because it was definitely worth waiting for. It is really high quality, really well-made, and solid through and through. I don't know if this shield is only meant for decoration or not, but I have every reason to believe that it would serve well on the battle front as well. At any rate, my thirteen-year-old son is beyond thrilled with his Steel Domed Shield, and his Dad now wants one of his own for Christmas.

Opening the box I didnt know what to expect. After layers of cardboard and shipping padding (not peanuts) I was incredibly surprised by how solid this piece felt. Strapping it to my arm was a surprise to be sure. The creatures I'd be ready to fight, I felt like a paladin in hell ready to hit evil head on. I ordered the non painted and got the painted cross. While not dissapointed I'm deciding if I'll paint it myself now. Pleased, pleased, pleased!

This is a solidly constructed buckler.  The size and weight is perfect and the handle is comfortable.  This is a great buy.

Excellent shield.  Wood is solid.  Bolts are recessed on the back.  Metal edge is thick enough to protect against damage.  Back is reinforced and covered with felt.  Thick leather arm support and solid wood center handle.  You will need a good strong arm and shoulder to hold this shield for any length of time.

This is an impressive piece which I prefer to display in my living room. It could be used for re-enactments or stage combat but I would not rather have its handsome surface scarred.

My boyfriend LOVES his Templar Shield. Excellent quality and truly realistic. He dressed as a Knights Templar when we went to a medieval faire. He was stopped by numerous people requesting a picture with him. Would love to post a picture of him in his Templar outfit of which many items were purchased via Museum Replicas.

Initially I was leery of buying this product due to the gap between the boss and the rest of the buckler, but my concerns were unfounded. I got two of these when they were on sale for the deal of the day and I have been more than pleased with them. They are well balanced and the grip fits comfortably in my hand. The grip runs across the back of the buckler, keeping a low profile and offering great control over the buckler. Overall it is solidly built, able to stand up to the rigors of sparring. This is my new favorite buckler and I look forward to getting more for my club!

Nice and sturdy. Perfect for SCA fencing!
