Medieval Steel Buckler Shield- Handcrafted Combat Shield

Description

Step into the world of medieval swordsmanship with this 12-inch steel buckler, modeled after the sidearm shields used from the 14th to 16th centuries by European soldiers and duelists. Lightweight yet durable, the buckler was favored for its quick maneuverability and close-quarters control.

Unlike large kite or heater shields, this compact piece was a functional companion to arming swords and rapiers. The raised central boss protects the hand, while the solid rear grip allows firm control in combat drills or theatrical fighting. Whether you prefer a bright polished finish or matte black aesthetic, this buckler holds up to repeated use and delivers authentic historical presence.
