authentic shield fabrication

Post by bartholomew »

I was wondering who could possibly make a shield. Not the standard run of the mill shield, but one that has that very "aged" look. I looked all over the internet, but nothing. I wanted to hang this shield, with my device, in the entrance way of my home. Hung between two poleaxes, two halberds, and one very large two handed sword. The weapons have the "aged"look and for everything to jell I wanted the shield to also have that antique look as well. Also I wanted it to be of "heater" design. I could supply a sheet metal shield, formed to my liking. I just need the artist.

It seems like you want something painted up and the aged/ distressed look done on a metal shield. Or do you want a shield constructed in a period fashion, decorated as an historic shield might have been? I can help with the latter, if you care to discuss it. The former, no. I can't help you with that.
