I'm looking for some big round or oval shields for my italian infantry and I don't know where to get them. I'm too clumsy to make my own. The closest I've seen so far are Warlord's roman shields (I would have to remove the bosses). Here are some pictures of what I'm looking for:

Old Glory supplies them with some of their Italian Wars infantry. They may sell them separately.

Mirliton. I just received an order from Italy including weapons and shields and the shields match what you are looking for. The order arrived in less than two weeks from Italy to the US.

Glad to hear someone is making them.

Of course, there is that new minimum postal rate (latest rate hike) for small packages to consider, costing about $48, if reports from those in Italy are true.

I have ordered a pack of Mirliton's from Vexillia; I'll post a picture later this month.
