Tods Workshop | Weird Weapons: Caged Buckler! - Sword trapper. @tods_workshop | Uploaded 2 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Targa, a kind of buckler shield are small easily portable civilian shields for those moments when you find yourself in a sword fight. But by the 1540's some had a secret weapon attached.....

I have made a reproduction of a very particular Targa from the Wallace Collection so Matt and I mess around with it to find out what its all about.
