Jousting shield made for me by Padrig
Posted: Wed Aug 07, 2002 4:03 pm
I just came back from Montreal. had a wonderfull time and met a long time internet friend for he first time. Patrice who posts here now as Padrig. he has done quite a few pieces of armour for me and he surprised me with another one when I arrived!
let me say that this shield has had no backround research done on it by either one of us for authenticity. It is simply a peice I saw in the movie "Knights Tale " and mentioned to Padrig that I had liked it. He made it for me painted my families arms on it and I love it. It is to be strappd around the shoulder and again around the forearm. It is shaped to curve my arm and around my spaulders. It is a piece I will use to come on the field with but not to tilt with. I could though since he made it out of 16 G stainless! and rolled the edges as well.
I just wanted to show the archivers here some nice work. I have already contacted some early period jousters to see if this kind of shield did exsist and what period if it did.
Many thanks to Padrig!
