Description
Command the field with the Medieval Templar Heater Shield, an iconic knight’s defense inspired by the 12th–14th century Crusades and European chivalric warfare. Forged from 18 gauge steel, this shield combines authentic historical design with reliable durability, making it suitable for collectors, and performers .
The classic heater shape was favored by both mounted cavalry and infantry for its lightweight balance, wide coverage. This includes reinforced crossbars at the back to maintain structural integrity, while two adjustable leather straps with riveted steel fittings ensure a secure, comfortable grip in combat scenarios or choreographed use.
Choose between a matte black finish for a battle-worn, menacing look or a polished steel and white version for a shining knightly presence. Whether used for LARP battles, medieval fairs, costume building, or as a dramatic wall display, this shield brings authentic Crusader spirit to any armory.
Pair it with a Templar great helm or longsword for the ultimate medieval ensemble.
