SA0705 Scottish steel shield 13th century

Scottish steel shield 13th century

• In the 12th century with the introduction of the pot
  helmet, the individual knight could no longer be
  recognized by his face, and another means of
  identification became necessary. Therefore their
  shields were painted in boldly contrasting colours, we
  are here offering one which has -as we were told- a
  Scottish design. We are offering a reenactors’ copy of
  such a shield made from steel, reinforced in the centre
  and with a wooden grip attached by 2 screws. Shield
  dimensions:
  68 cms.(27″) x 49cms.(19″)
  These shields are available in plywood or steel sheet as
  per your choice,
