Weight approx. 2,9 kg Battle shield
- made out of steel
- Two stong lethaer straps for wearing on the back side.
- Since ancient times was nothing so important for a warrior as his shield!
- It protected the warrior against long range weapons like bows or crossbows.
- Equally indispensable was the shield at close combats.
- Every warrior strived to prevent his sword from damage and hence fenced the enemy’s blows with the shield whenever possible.
- This is a fact that is often forgotten at medieval stage combats! |
