Description

Bring the art of late medieval sword fighting to life with the Medieval Talhoffer Buckler Shield, inspired by the famous Talhoffer Fechtbuch (Fencing Book) from the 15th century. Named after the legendary fencing master Hans Talhoffer, this buckler captures the style, form, and fighting spirit of historical European martial arts.

Made from 16-gauge steel, this shield is both strong and lightweight, weighing around 1.6 kg, allowing for fast and controlled defense. Its holly-leaf shape with raised ridges adds strength and helps deflect blows effectively. The conical center boss, decorated with a grooved cross, gives it an authentic medieval look while protecting the hand during combat.

The back of the buckler is painted to resist corrosion, helping prevent rust and wear even with regular or outdoor use. It features a riveted steel handle with a twisted grip design that provides a comfortable and secure hold while keeping true to historical detail.

Available in three finishes, Polished, Natural (aged), and Blackened, this shield blends historical accuracy with excellent craftsmanship. Perfect for HEMA training, stage combat, or display, it embodies the strength and elegance of medieval warfare.

Care Instructions

  • Wipe clean after each use with a soft, dry cloth.

  • Apply a light coat of machine oil to prevent rust.

  • Avoid keeping it in moist or humid conditions.

  • Store in a dry place, ideally with silica gel or anti-rust paper.

Note:

Because each Talhoffer Shield is hand-forged, small variations in shape or texture may occur.
