Hello Kubur.
Thank you for interesting pictures. Please, could you post some pictures of a typical Ottoman shield ? And also how it was/is called (if not kalkan) ? Thank you. Best regards, Martin |

Yes I can. As you can see the Ottoman shield is much bigger 40 to 50cm. The wickerwork is much better on the Turkish Ottoman shields. Only the central part is made of iron, there is no radial bars around. Very interesting question about the name, because actually (as you know) the name is the same at least for the 19th century.... I don't know before the 19th c. and I don't know about the Kurdish name... If you google Ottoman shield you will see a lot of Kurdish kalkans. Why? Because they are very common and easy to find; and for a dealer it's always better to sell an Ottoman shield... I'm very happy with my tribal Kurdish shield.
