Buckler Question From Merctailor

[AL]

I screwed the pooche and found a buckler commisions in the outstanding stack and given that I used up all the handles and blanks thinking I was done with them will have to make up another handle and body up. The barstock for the handles I still have some of as I bought out a local hardware store that closed a few years ago of thier 1/2 inch stock. I've been trying to buy new materials as little as possible for the stuff i've been selling off made from left over parts as I want to keep the cash going to outstanding commisions ( three out this week including Tom R.'s 13/14th century rebracers with rondels ). A metal sculptor buddy of mine who lets me use his welder for helmets dropped off a small piece of 16 gauge scrap to me from scrounging at the yard yesterday ( something that i'd forgotten about and will be indulging in as the closer it gets to Christmas/New Years the less chance I see of landing a job till after the holidays ) which he can't use ( he's an Albert Paley prodigy so works in 3/16 and 1/4 inch plate stock for enourmous sculptures ). My question is, is there any interst in a couple of 11 inch steel bucklers, actually to be honest I can only get the one I need and two more, max out of the piece of scrap. If there is then i'll go to the trouble to make the two extra handles this weekend and post them for sale when done, if not I don't want to take time away from outstanding work.

There is a market for shield bosses though it would probiby help to give an estimated cost of a finished buckler...

I'm not realy in the market being out of work myself...

Same price as the last couple I sold off on the Archive a few weeks ago viewtopic.php?f=3&t=143109 $65 plus shipping ( they will fit in a medium flat rate box which is $13.00 insured and tracked ) which is a good bit less than we used to sell them for. You can find pics of them in the linked thread.
