I would also second Oakheart Armory; the last two shields I had commissioned came from them and they're really willing and able to work with you.  Rather than going with a blank, I had them make up two complete shields, with arm straps and neck/guige strap to hang from the back; one was rimmed in steel and painted with my heraldic colors and the other was a Templar one-off (not the beauseant version, white with a red cross) same layout and both shields were around $120 or so when it was all said and done.

So it only comes out to about 60 to have it customized?

No, for each shield.  You're only going for one at the moment, right?

Soon yes.

The Heck is an Armor Archive?

This is a larger, longer established forum w/a lot more people in a lot of age ranges, but none as young as you are.  Most of them seem to be between the ages of 25 to 55 for the most part; you'll want to keep the more youthful outbursts to a minimum there.  Unless you're on the Political board; but you'll want real thick skin if you plan on bouncing around in there.

Sir Patrick:
Second that. Best to lurk a while. You can find an answer to just about anything over there if your search-fu is good.

I can remain unseen if I wish. If I do Need to respond or ask a question it shall be asked in a basic manor, without hint of my youthfulness.
My search-fu is very good.
