Shields for Germans in AD9
#20
Quote:A book very interesting is Nadkole II.
The book is in English, but translation is questionable. Don't be surprised. For instance, spears ale called "lances", javelins are called "spears". Obvious German calque.
Very interesting, unique shield bosses form Nadkole II graves: 43 and 80B.

Anyway:
We reconstructed Nadkole shield two years ago (see attachment, a man with black shield). Hexagonal shield is very unuseful in formation combat. We decided to use miniatures form Siemiechow as a model instead. See - other attachments (first stage of production, no leather covering). All shields are made by Bartosz "Razoslav" Gluszczak (student of Archeology, University of Lodz). Iron Bosses - Tomasz Kowalski (blacksmith, armourer). "Design of reconstruction" - well... me. They are made "for Marcomanic Wars". The same model (with different shield bosses) we hope to use for "around 0AD" period.

Language is Polish, but pictures are universal Smile

How do you find it? (Yes, new bosses are in production)
