This handsome shield is painted black and yellow in a quartered pattern like the shields found with the Gokstad ship burial. 1/2" plywood is cut into planks for an authentic planked look. Thick canvas facing adds to strength and the back is stained ipswich pine.
Steel shield boss is 2mm thick and is riveted on. Handle is cedar and riveted on. Rim is natural rawhide attached with clinched copper nails. Includes leather carry strap.
28" in diameter and weighs about 7.5 pounds without removable shoulder strap.
Rivets are all hand hammered and this shield will have no obvious signs of modern construction.
If out of stock it usually takes us about a 4 weeks to make and ship.
Made in the USA.
Note: We are unable to ship shields to Australia do to size restrictions with the post.
