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).

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
