GDFB Plain Buckler

Used between the 12th and 18th century, the buckler achieved a deserved reputation as both a defensive and offensive arm, and is indispensable in both classical rapier play and I.33 sparring ('Fechtbuch I.33', an anonymous German manuscript from around 1300, is the earliest surviving manual of swordsmanship. Known as Manuscript I.33, it deals entirely with the use of the medieval sword and buckler).

This buckler is made of 14 gauge steel, has rolled edges, and is 229mm (9") in diameter. This plain version combines complete functionality with economical pricing. The steel tube grip is securely riveted to the body of the buckler.
