Hi,

I have attached kalkan from polish army museum in Warsaw. It's marked as battle shield (less decorated then parade one)

I think we have more parade kalkans as they were expensive and not used in fight. When I say parade, it should have precious stones / umbo made with gold, ...

Still all colorful versions with steel parts are made for 'normal use'
