What are the dimensions? It looks small to me.
The screw holes in the 'arm loops' are another concern; countersunk like the one on the left screams more modern construction and like it is meant to be part of a larger display. |

Hello,
Yes it 's smaller than usual targes : 37cm/14,5 inches in diameter. Maybe because it s too heavy ? Deco ( victorian ?) / or rapported pieces in a smaller circle ?? I can't say much for the moment... |

14.5" is way to small for a strapped shield unless for a child and then it would be to heavy. At that size the whole elbow is exposed and that's a big no no, this thing is definitely decorative only.

I have seen similar supposed targes which were actually repurposed decorative side table tops
