This shield screams of bronze and war and grit and Sparta. Most brass shields are yellowy and shiny (like my drunk uncle's eyes, oddly) and have no real depth to them. There's a richness of color and finish on this shield that you won't find anywhere else. Each shield is individually weathered and detailed to give it that fierce, battle-worn look. The shield is made entirely from steel, with a strong coating of brass and a proprietary weathering technique that is as much art as manufacturing. Okay, then, the Lambda actually represents the region of Greece that was Sparta and had nothing to do with mountains or bodies. Okay my boss actually told me to stop making stuff up or he would pile my body on the unemployment line. More specifically, a mountain of bodies that Spartans pile up after every victory and. That Lambda on the front of the shield is in the standard style (it represents a mountain. This is a fairly historically accurate reproduction of a spartan shield (Spartans actually used wood shields with brass plating, but those don't last as long, so we figured we'd make it all steel and brass). But if the Spartans had ever utilized elephants like the Persians, they would have been all set in the animals' cookware department). (Okay, so it was never used as a big plate. It acted as a wall of defense, a symbol of unity, a gurney for fallen soldiers, and a really, really big plate. The shield was the most important piece of equipment for a Spartan warrior (or any Greek Hoplite, for that matter).
