Well here are some shots of my republican scutum! Perhaps it should be on a different post, but you did ask if I had any pics!

Also, after my initial excitement died down, I had a close look at the boss, and it is spun not hand beaten!

The scutum--

I would have preferred the nails to be clinched over a washer of some type, but maybe can amend that if I go for a different boss!
