Description

Medieval Talhoffer Shield, 15th-Century Fechtbuch Design: This Talhoffer Buckler is a true reproduction inspired by the famous Talhoffer Fechtbuch (Fencing Book) of the 15th century. Named after the fencing master Hans Talhoffer, this buckler shield displays the techniques, proportions, and aesthetics of historical European martial arts. Ideal for collectors and HEMA practitioners who want an accurate shield and buckler set-style companion.

15th-Century Design: Inspired directly by the illustrations in Hans Talhoffer’s Fechtbuch, the renowned 15th-century fighting manual, this Talhoffer dueling shield has authentic medieval craftsmanship and combat practicality.

Holly-Leaf Shape: The unique flared and ridged design is for both beauty and functional strength, making this shield buckler suitable for training, stage combat, or display.

Durable 16-Gauge Steel Construction: Built for longevity and reliable protection, the 16-gauge steel body gives an excellent sturdiness and handling, making the buckler shield ideal for active use.

Intricate Central Boss: A raised conical boss with a grooved cross pattern helps in hand protection during close-quarters combat.

Comfortable Twisted Steel Grip: The twisted riveted handle helps in a firm, balanced hold during movement and strikes, maintaining historical styling without putting comfort behind.

Made from 16-gauge tough steel: The Talhoffer Buckler is sturdy and lightweight at 1.6 kg, for swift and controlled defensive action. Its holly-leaf ridges strengthen the structure while helping deflect blows. The back of the buckler is painted to resist corrosion for long-term use during outdoor or training use.

Finishes Available:

Choose from three stunning finishes to suit your combat or display needs:

  • Polished Steel
  • Natural (Aged Look)
  • Blackened Steel

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Wipe clean after each use with a soft dry cloth.
  • Apply a light coat of oil to prevent rusting.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or humidity.
  • Store in a dry place with silica gel.

Note: Due to the hand-forged nature of the Talhoffer Buckler, minor variations may be present.
