Bucklers are traditionally small shields used to deflect the blows of an opponents sword. These shields were typically round but sometimes existed in other shape, and they were used as companion pieces to arming swords, rapiers, and other one-handed weapons. We carry a variety of bucklers here for reenactment, light combat, costume use, or decoration.
