SHIELD IDENTIFICATION

CONGRADULATIONS!! A VERY NICE SHIELD SHOWING GOOD AGE AND IN GOOD CONDITION. IF THE SELLER IS CORRECT IT WOULD BE A MORO SHIELD, THE WAY THE GRIP IS MADE ON THE BACK ALSO REMINDS ME OF THE MORO STYLE. THE IRON DECORATION ON THE FRONT WOULD ALSO REINFORCE THE SHIELD AND HELP KEEP IT FROM SPLITTING WHEN STRUCK ON THE EDGES.

HAVING SAID ALL THAT IT IS JUST MY GUESS AS I HAVE NOT SEEN A MORO SHIELD LIKE IT AS THE FEW I HAVE SEEN WERE ROUND. I THINK A SIMULAR SHAPE MAY BE FEATURED ON THE SMALL "WEAPONS OF MOROLAND PLACKS" SO YOU MIGHT SEARCH THE OLD FORUM FOR POSTS ON THEM. GOOD LUCK
