Buckler Round
Epic Armoury‘s Buckler is a versatile round latex shield, inspired by skilled swordsmen through history. This 40 cm buckler has a neutral design befitting many character types, sculpted and painted to look like studded leather beneath a round shield boss in the center.
Use this Bucker left- or right-handed with the punch grip hidden behind the shield boss. The 14 cm handle is secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid suede leather-wrapped grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.
History
