Would you both be willing to help clarify things with some dimensions and weights as I've not got access or experience to the plain types to make a direct comparison?

Gene,
I think that this help you can get better from Maurice since I have handled some plain shields byself but don't own one byself. The dimensions are nearly the same but can't tell for sure a exactly weight but I know from remembering
that they quite heavy.
What I can still tell you that I think that the both first ones you show seems to be younger as the other both, this is what I see by your pictures and like every time I can be wrong by this. The third and fourth seems to have a better quality and you maybe can confirm this by the weight.
Regards,
Detlef
