Steel Dhal Buckler made of 16G steel that hold up very well against Steel and plastic/synthetic swords.
Also called a gatka shield or separ, used in Sikh/Shaster Vidia martial arts.
Straps have buckles so you can do a "X" or "=" with the leather straps. I've seen both ways. Let me know what works best. The rivits are not pinned under the small unbos. Its done this way to help you replace the straps if needed. Its easier to access by drilling out the rivit and putting in a new strap.
