Gastir Softcombat 2310 Shield

“The northerner was surprisingly agile and skilled. His sword did not express foolish slashes or hammer blows. Rather, it pierced the air gracefully from behind the shield like a viper waiting for a moment of opportunity. The shield, covered in leather and painted with a swirling pattern, applied itself in attacks that quickly overwhelmed opponents. I had heard tales of wild berserkers in the north. Instead, I witnessed refined techniques and sophisticated precision.”

Epic Armoury’s GastiR Shield is made in collaboration with Lejre Land of Legends , a Danish historical-archaeological research and communication center. Compared to our previous Viking-inspired shields, the GastiR Shield is adjusted for authenticity in several factors: The size of the shield overhang is slightly reduced for a better fit with an unarmored hand. The front of the shield mimics a leather covering, based on research indicating this was applied to shields for added durability. The shield is available in four different patterns, all chosen from interpretations of shields depicted in the Oseberg Tapestry . While it’s impossible to claim complete authenticity, we can confidently say that this is our best attempt. The GastiR Shield will serve you well when fighting for clan and king!
