I've heard from several 'experts' on the Germanic tribes that there is evidence that some Germanic shields were edged with iron. Would anyone know how these were constructed, as well as the cone shaped shield bosses? I have a forge and some metal and I was hoping to reconstruct the shield of a wealtheir warrior.
