Overview
Lord of Battles - Blackened Steel Buckler - 14 Gauge
This buckler is crafted from robust 14 gauge riveted steel construction with a blackened finish. The central bar grip is fitted between two halves of wood for a grip.
Though a buckler may appear diminutive and ineffectual, nothing could be farther from the truth; a skilled wielder knows that the buckler is used differently than a larger, more standard shield. Held away at arms length it denies entire avenues of attack to the opponent, and is swift enough to be a secondary weapon in itself. A true duelists shield (and weapon!).

Great shield, great value The metal work is absolutely amazing considering its prize. The only thing that disappoints me is the wood handle work as it looks pretty sketchy though it’s not really a problem here. The overall value is really great
