Star Buckler - 40 cm

Epic Armoury's Star Buckler is a small, versatile round shield, inspired by skilled swordsmen through history. This 40 cm buckler has a neutral design befitting many character types, sculpted and painted to look like an iron shield, reinforced with a brass rim and studded star across the face. A round shield boss in the center is designed to deflect weapons.

Use this Star Buckler left- or right-handed with the punch grip hidden behind the shield boss. The 14 cm handle is secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid suede-wrapped grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

History

• Originally developed for Bucellarii, personal armies of rich landowners in the late Roman Empire
• Particularly popular with light-footed fighters during the Renaissance and Baroque eras
• Used the Shield Boss, the round, convex piece of material at the center of the shield, to deflect blows
