K Pasta, Dudes?

Thought I would share a new Ottoman buckler I got from our very own CharlesS - I think it is the best condition I have ever seen.


Enjoy :D

Nice. :)

Any thoughts on who,where,when on this one? Its really a nice piece but I'm curious as don't see many shields here.

All best regards,
Jim

Que Peso - That's great - may I borrow that one? :D


I believe that the Janissaries used these type of bucklers especially for close hand to hand combat (like with a yataghan).

grassy.....uh! you know! thanks Jose!!!
That really is a nice piece, and I really like the metalwork, definitely would look good in a display of those weapons.
All the best,
Jim
