This shield is the one that is pictured in Zonneveld s book

I have seen this type off shields in the Museum Depot.

Hi Albert and Michael thanks for the comment .
And yes it has great provonance and from an old Dutch collect(or)ion.

The strange about the shield is that the number is even 6 no 5,7 or 9
That is the strange thing about it .

Recently a very (very) similar shield was sold with 5 bosses (4 + 1 in the middle)
I checked my files but could not find any pictures sad enough.

But still a rather rare type. heavy too.
