Didn't really know where to post, but this seemed ok...

Who makes em? Anyone have a pic of their favorite battle ready shield?

Any one know of any makers that specialize in this or pics of certain maker's shields?
 
Cold steel has a little one made out of some type of plastic for sparring. I make my own shields out of plywood, as that's fairly historically accurate and cheap and easy.
 
I seem to remember kult of athena having a selection, but I haven't been on that site in ages...
 
I have two small very well made Buckler's

I will try and get some pics

They are around 12 to 14 inches in circumference-steel cup leather ring

Very heavy construction but would fit on a messenger bag or under car seat

As an impact weapon brutal

I have used them to spar with trainers and they are a huge advantage when blocking makes defending very simple

Someone on EBay made hem for me
 
In my opinion Arms and Armor is the way to go for bucklers:

They are spun but so are just about any other bucklers that aren't custom pieces.
