At 15.7 in across, its neutral design suits many character types: sculpted and painted to look like iron, the face is reinforced with a round central shield boss and a cross of studded iron running across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA punch grip tucked behind the boss lets you wield the Steel Buckler left- or right-handed, and the 5.5 in handle is secured through hard EVA foam for a solid, lasting grip. As a latex shield, it's built to withstand repeated LARP combat as long as you keep up with regular latex maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginally developed for Bucellarii, personal armies of rich landowners in the late Roman Empire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticularly popular with light-footed fighters during the Renaissance and Baroque eras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed the Shield Boss, the round, convex piece of material at the center of the shield, to deflect blows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Our LARP products are for recreational use only.
