Medieval Templar Heater Shield 18 Gauge Steel Knight’s Arm Guard, Stage, LARP, SCA, Display

Description

Stand tall on the field with the Templar Heater Shield, a piece modeled after the legendary shields of Crusader knights. Forged from 18-gauge steel, this shield blends historical authenticity with modern strength, making it a must-have for collectors, medieval performers, and enthusiasts of knightly warfare.

The heater shield shape—widely used by cavalry and infantry alike—was prized for its wide protection and nimble handling. This recreation mirrors that heritage, reinforced with steel crossbars on the reverse and fitted with sturdy leather straps for a reliable grip during sparring, stage work, or immersive reenactment.

Choose your look: the matte black finish evokes a battle-worn, menacing presence, while the polished or white steel variant reflects the radiant image of a knight in shining armor. Whether displayed on a wall, carried at events, or used in live performance, this shield captures the spirit of medieval chivalry and Crusader valor.

Pair with a Templar great helm or knightly sword to complete the ultimate historical ensemble.

Care Guidelines

• Wipe dry with a soft cloth after use

• Lightly oil edges and rivets to guard against rust

• Store in a cool, dry environment to protect finish

• Avoid heavy impact against stone or hard surfaces to maintain shape

• Matte finish: Avoid abrasives to keep coating intact

• Polished finish: Restore shine with mild polish and a soft cloth

Crafting Note

Every shield is individually hand-forged, meaning subtle differences in texture, rivet alignment, or surface finish are natural. These variations are part of its authentic medieval character.
