Talk:Buckler

I wish we could steal pics and upload them to the wiki (I'd really like a gorg shoulder buckler pic for this article). Rasheab (talk) 22:49, 20 March 2022 (CDT)Reply

I'd like to clarify that bucklers were never strapped to the arm. Whether the thing had a bar grip or leather straps, it was held in the hand, like what this site calls a "Punch shield". -Butcheeks

It's a game term, not a particularly historically accurate term. "Glaives" are most swung polearms, "spears" are polearms that only stab. "Florentine" is not a term for fighting with any two weapons. Not disputing your statement (since it's true), but in turn pointing out the way terms are used in our sport.
