Product description

According to Herbert Schmidt's classification, this buckler is a Type IB, featuring a round shape with sloping edges. The first depictions of this type of buckler appear in the early 14th-century Tower Manuscript, although these weapons were likely in use as early as the 13th century. Bucklers of this kind remained in use through the 16th century.

The round buckler is reinforced with additional steel plates, rendering it well-suited to use in combination with a one-handed sword or a bow.
