That looks great Lee!!! The Nuremberg marks look like those of 1570s firearms.
Would you know what kind of "troops" would be equiped with such shields?

The shoulderstrap would help alot with carrying a heavy shield. It would be interesting to see how it will affect the way you can move thr shield around.
I think my shield would lack such a strap, i will try to weigh my shield but would estimate 5 kilos.
