Does anyone know of a buckler that didn't have a boss? I can't think of an example.--User 144 10:03, 22 July 2006 (EST)

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 grip inside -- although, as any fencer will tell you, it's used in an extremely different fashion from a centre-boss shield.
