    A couple of early C18th Targes

    Thought those that are interested in weapons and re-enacting might be interested in the reverse of these two early C18th targes.



    Oak planking overlapped at 90 degrees. The wood was originallly covered in a green cloth which can just been seen surviving in a couple of places.



    No 2. Retaining most of the original red cloth backing and upper arm strap. Finely tooled with studs of silver not the usual brass
