What a lovely shield! The interior does indeed look a lot like the Chigi examples, and at ten pounds it seems a very reasonable weight. I've been working with mine as it stands, painting the interior (so far), gluing some layers of fleece around the porpax for temporary comfort and adding strips of leather to the inside behind the antilabe and the inner roofing if you will, where the shoulder would rest to resist chafing.
What a difference that might be, truthfully I've gotten used to this KultofAthena model and this is a little over twenty pounds. Ten pounds or less is significantly lighter, I'm curious if there would be any difference in long-term durability between such different models or if this big lug is truly an overweight imitator!
mile:
I'd love to have a lighter, more realistic model (as much as current understanding allows anyway) as possible some day.
