Weird Weapons: Caged Buckler! - Sword trapper.

Targa, a kind of buckler shield are small easily portable civilian shields for those moments when you find yourself in a sword fight. But by the 1540’s some had a secret weapon attached..... I have made a reproduction of a very particular Targa from the Wallace Collection so Matt and I mess around with it to find out what its all about.
