Would they even have bothered sealing the paint historically? I mean, I assume if probably wouldn't have even lasted for more than a battle or two. Of course, I imagine you don't plan on going to battle anytime soon, so there are certainly benefits to sealing it. ;)

Milk paint is water soluble, so it would need some sort of finish to protect it if it's going to be near moisture or that pretty artwork will be un-pretty very shortly  :'(

Paulus von Zurich:
I have had very good luck sealing milk paint with Johnson's floor wax.

Sir Brian:
Awesome looking shield! Congratulations on your new acquisition!  :)

Sir Patrick:
Wipe on poly?  I've used it for acrylics but not milks. Shield looks amazing BTW!

Lord Dane:
Looks great. I use bees-wax to protect my period steel from oxidation. Might do something different for painted surface though of made of wood. My heaters minus one are steel.
