WTB: Shield Boss. (SCA fighting)
Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:47 pm
Ave,
Does any one have on hand a shield boss that has a hand opening size of 7" or greater in diameter, that I could purchase from them? The one that I have is 6" and that is too small. I thought it would work on the curved shield blank that I have but after curving the boss a little to fit the shield, the holes on the boss rim now are over the hand opening. I can secure it with only two bolts and I am not comfortable with it even though it seems solid. So I figure a 7" opening will work after curving it. If the boss is
Roman-esque (rectangle) that would be even better but if not no
biggie. This is for a tourniment shield, not a war shield. Speed is the name of this game folks. I need it now, as in yesterday. Thank you.
