Questions about the product Padded rectangular buckler for stage combat

What are the main advantages of the padding on this rectangular buckler for stage combat, and what material is the shield core made of?

The padding effectively cushions impacts, thus reducing the risk of injury for both the wearer and their partner in staged combat. The shield core is made of robust plywood.
What are the dimensions and weight of this padded rectangular buckler, and what is the design of the handle on the back?

This padded rectangular buckler weighs approximately 1.75 kg and measures about 41 x 28 cm. On the back is a firmly riveted, forged handle and a large padding area covered in leather for hand protection.
For which historical depictions is this rectangular buckler authentic, and does the angular shape offer better hand protection compared to round bucklers during certain parrying movements?

Rectangular bucklers, according to Schmidt's typology (Type II), are historically documented and authentic for depictions of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. While round bucklers represent the classic form, the rectangular shape, with its straight edges, offers a more stable surface for parrying and can provide slightly wider coverage for the hand and forearm during vertical or horizontal defensive movements. Ultimately, however, the advantage depends heavily on the individual fencing technique and the specific situation in the reenactment.

To protect the carbon steel buckler from rust, it should be thoroughly cleaned and completely dried after each use. Since carbon steel contains no corrosion-resistant alloying elements, regular application of a suitable care oil or corrosion inhibitor (such as Ballistol or special metal protection oils) is essential to create a protective barrier against moisture. While the material is generally suitable for use in the rain, subsequent maintenance is particularly important: the buckler must be dried and re-oiled immediately, as moisture can very quickly lead to rust formation in this type of steel.
