Had delivered exactly what I expected. Solid, well cut, and a pretty addition to the center of my shield. I’m an SCA heavies fighter as well as a bit of a fitness nut so I know how important it is to have well-crafted, fully functioning pieces of equipment whenever you’re involved in physical activities. Needless to say this more than fits the bill. Would definitely buy again!

This shield boss is AWESOME. Take a ball-peen hammer to it and give it some dents, paint it black, then polish it–leaving the black dents–looks battle-worn and ancient. Tough enough for a sword or axe hit, that’s for sure! Get one, and build your own battle-ready shield! I highly recommend!…Mark M.
