Identification of Selected Shields and Parrying Arms & Armor of the World updated February 25, 2009 |
Help us keep this Identification Service alive.
Research materials I have available are quite substantial; however, on some items, information within those materials might be quite sparse. If you choose to snail-mail images, please make sure you have copies or your originals retained for yourself. We do not return images in any format and they become the property of Arms to Armor - The History Store without compensation to you for any use - past, present, or future.
If sending a check or money order, please mail, payable to:
If you have a specific identification question, please see our Identification Request Page. If you are wanting to buy antique or collectible shields, please visit our Online Store and view our Shields for Sale page. You can also buy research materials from one of our affiliates at our Books for Sale pages. |
Below are the images of selected shields used in selected
countries. I will add to this from time to time - mainly
upon request - when identification of a certain shield is
requested. My intent is to help the novice collector, not to help line the pockets of pseudo antique dealers. The best advice I can offer to the novice collector is, "READ BOOKS." There are a number of wonderful books available and below I have listed some of my favorites. AGAIN, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! |
