Hey, Sir Edward...before you use that shield, would you consider selling it?
Possibly, I'll let you take a look at it. It's not fantastic, but it works. It's steel with rolled edges and leather straps.
-
Nice...I'd love to have a look!
-
I do have some photos, BTW:

It has arm and guige straps? How big is it? It looks hefty...me likey!
-
It's about 35" tall. Not sure how wide. I can measure later. It's steel, but not overly heavy. It does have handles and a guige, but I don't remember if the guige is adjustable. I'll have to check. I'm thinking not. I think it's just a strap that's riveted on.
-
That's not a problem; I could split the strap and rivet a belt to it, right? The strapping's black?
-
I think it's brown strapping, actually.

Probably a dark brown, actually. Here are some photos of me with it:

SWEET! What would you let it go for? Any pics of the back of it? Hey, you were a green knight once! How old are these pics? Is that thick belt, is that the guige?
-
Yeah, the guige is pretty wide. It's bolted at the far corners, so the shield tended to slant to one side when I had it on my back.
The photos are from 2006. That was the last year that I used those old single-color surcoats. I made them back around 1999.
Hmm, no idea on the price. :) I don't have any pics of the back, but I can always take some.
-
Ok well let me know; I am interested. :)

i thought you had a templar shield? a wooden one would be better for faire and fighting, but a metal one is cool for decoration in the man cave for sure!

I do have one, but I plan on getting it painted w/a new set of charges...not to mention, I have need of a shield for a righty as I have a sword that was belted for a righty so it would do to have a matched set.
