ITS NOT MY FIELD BUT BASED ON POSTS IN THE FORUM I WOULD AGREE ON IT BEING FROM FORMOSA. THE WORKMANSHIP IS GOOD AND IT EVEN HAS METAL DECORATIONS INSTEAD OF THE ONES OFTEN CARVED INTO THE WOOD. TO AQUIRE A SHIELD SUCH AS THIS IS VERY GOOD LUCK AS THEY ARE FEW AND FAR IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE TWO MEMBERS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THINGS FORMOSAN SO PERHAPS THEY WILL SEE THIS POST AND TELL YOU MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE. I THINK ITS A NICE ONE
