Old Ethiopian Shield For Comment

Tim Simmons · 19th April 2006, 08:53 PM

To be perfectly honest with you I have only ever seen these shields on ebay. I have never seen or handled one since collecting. As the UK was quite heavily involved in Ethiopia I find that a little strange but one is always discovering new things. I am not able to form an opinion from the pictures I have seen since observing there appearance on ebay. How robust are they? What is the handle like? I am really looking forward to good pictures from you.
