Historical Targe Images?

[Downunder Kilt]

Mike, Peter from the STA recently put photos of 2 that he had located, in a post. Nighthawk based one of his recent creations on one of them. Don't know if you got those 2 but if you use the search feature you'll be able to find them (or someone smarter than me will be able to post a link to them)

Thanks guys. I guess what I hope this thread will become is a resource of images of historical targes. So I have a few to put up today. I have saved all the images I will be posting, and where possible I will link to the site I got the images from.

The first set of images is of a targe believed to have been made in 1822. http://www.historicalarmsandarmor.com/european.html

The next ones are just single pics with the host site listed.

Here's a link I found... Note the iron handle-and a good description.
