Kalkin Ottoman Buckler
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

Que Peso - That's great - may I borrow that one?
I believe that the Janissaries used these type of bucklers especially for close hand to hand combat (like with a yataghan). |

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 |
