: Hi, All --

: I'm new here and have asked the search function for this phrase, to no avail. Can you help?

: A shield...no problem; a buckler? What's that when it's at home and not doing anything else? What function would it perform in what I assume is armament?

: Thanks.

: Sue

A buckler is also a shield.
