This Medieval German Conical Shield Boss is crafted for the makers, restorers or enthusiasts seeking historical accuracy and reliable performance. Forged by hand from 16-gauge steel, it characterizes a distinctive tall conical profile that was especially favored in German regions during the middle Ages.

Four evenly spaced mounting holes make securing this boss to your wooden shield quite straightforward, whether you are building a combat-ready shield or creating a museum-quality display or adding historical flair to a display.
