Description

A buckler (French bouclier 'shield', from Old French bocle, boucle 'boss') is a small shield, up to 45 cm (up to 18 in) in diameter, gripped in the fist with a central handle behind the boss.While being used in Europe since antiquity,it became more common as a companion weapon in hand-to-hand combat during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Its size made it poor protection against missile weapons (e.g., arrows) but useful in deflecting the blow of an opponent's weapons, binding his arms or hindering his movements.
MS I.33, considered the earliest extant armed-combat manual, (around 1300) contains an early description of a system of combat with buckler and sword.
Standard steel Buckler with a clip added.
Sources talk of bucklers being worn at the side or back. The teen actors method of a string over the Scabbard is simple but fails to be useful when the Buckler needs to be speedily drawn( try it) this clip attaches to a belt and can be drawn faster than the sword it’s carried with or even coming out at the same time.
Thick steel Clip is attached with Chicago & wood screws
