I don't think so -- a buckler is a small, all-metal shield -- by early-period standards, a bucker pretty much ''is'' a boss.

Bosses

I don't think so -- a buckler is a small, all-metal shield -- by early-period standards, a bucker pretty much is a boss.

Basically, it's a metal soup plate with a handle -- although, as any fencer will tell you, it's used in an extremely different fashion from a centre-boss shield.
