I find so many of the literature is vague when it comes to the provenance or place of origin/manufacture of some of these Indian shields.
I have recently developed an interest in these things and I would be interested to hear what the community out there thinks of these. Thanks in advance, Tom |

According to the Moser catalogue 1955 the shield to the right could, maybe, be Afghan. In the catalogue is shown a shield, not quite like yours, but still - it could be Afghan.

Jens Nordlunde - Your opinion that it might be Afghan based upon the Moser catalogue is based on … photographs of Afghan shields? or some of the text offered in that catalogue? If text.. can you quote it? And if based on photos, any chance to scan them and put it here in this thread?? Thanks.

good evening ,the shield of mine is similar in the decoration as yours , from hammerd iron 250/300 years old or earlyer. the interesting detail is that the rim of the outer radius is folded and ironcut in a design and technique equal to the rims of the type indian armor / deccani full bodycuirasse / these plain bodyarmors from wootzsteel , horrible expensive when in a good condition.i dont now more in the moment , i will see what i find in the books. thanks iskender
