Steel Buckler - 40 cm

Epic Armoury's Steel Buckler is a small, versatile round shield, inspired by skilled swordsmen through history. This 40 cm buckler has a neutral design befitting many character types, sculpted and painted to look like an iron shield, reinforced with a round shield boss in the center and a cross of studded iron across the face.

Use this Steel Buckler left- or right-handed with the punch grip hidden behind the shield boss. The 14 cm handle is secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

History

• Originally developed for Bucellarii, personal armies of rich landowners in the late Roman Empire
