The Scots Targe used by the highlanders as a defense against both arrows and hand weapons was light and maneuverable, often concealing a left-hand held dirk. Our Rob Roy Targe has patterns dating to the ‘45 Jacobite Rising. This piece is beautifully made, with tooled leather over wood and a goatskin backing. The Rob Roy Targe has spikes which screw into the central boss, with sheaths for the spikes attached to the back of the Targe, which is equipped with a leather covered arm strap and hand grip. The Rob Roy Targe has brass decoration, and like the original is approximately 19” in diameter. |
