What a cheek! That's certainly fighting talk Maurice

Perhaps these shields will go to war after all?

Detlef/Maurice

Gentlemen, I'm now rather intrigued by some of what this thread has uncovered.
The idea that the plain 'spun' shields are heavier than the elaborate cast ones is very interesting and completely counterintuitive to what I'd have expected from looking at them, and handling my own.

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?

Best
Gene

Sure Gene!

The most damaged one is 29 cm (diameter) and weights 1,94 kilograms....

The other one is 30 cm (diameter) and weights 1,44 kilograms....

The little one is real heavy and small, it has seen some real action according its condition...

Hope this helps a little Gene,
Kind Regards,
Maurice

PS I know that Willem has a plain one which is even heavier as my smallest one..

It does help indeed Maurice.
And not just me I'm sure.

They are lovely examples you have. I'm STUNNED by just how heavy they are.
Is it a general rule that they got lighter as they fell out of active use?

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

Hi Detlef,
I'd be very interested to have the weights and dimensions of your cast shields if thats OK?
