Is your favorite shield design the:

Acorn, Bomb, Federal, etc?  Is it stamped with a design or a name?

Or do you not like shields? (Weirdos)

My answer to the questions above is "Yes".  I have not committed to narrowing it down to 1 or 2 yet, but I have always been attracted to an Acorn shield on any knife. As I continue to search for these "oldies" I have a tendency to accumulate, other shields are becoming more interesting.

So, If you have a 1 or 2 particular shields that just speak to you in soft whispers of romanticism, let me see them.

Speaking of animal shields, I think I remember someone using a buffalo head.  Queen, maybe?

I like variety!  However the ones I like least are the gun shields, especially the one that is supposed to look like a musket. I'm also not crazy about the bullet shields.

I don't care for shields on White Smooth Bone, tortoise shell, pearl, or abalone handles. 

Sodbusters shouldn't have shields.

I also don't like shields on barlows   The barlow bolster should be marked appropriately to act as the shield

The shields I like, the bowtie, the propeller, a BSA shield of any kind, the acorn (especially on a Remington), a badge shield but only on  black or yellow comp).  I like the Beaver shield  shown earlier. I'd like to seem more animal shields. I also like the dog bone shield.

I like the bar shields used by Camillus

I also feel some shields really make a series of knives more special.

For instance, the  Horseshoe shield on the Rough Rider Stroke of Luck Series.

and the crescent moon on the moonshiners

I like variety. I see the shield as an integral part of a knife.

Winchester used a Buffalo Head shield. Can't remember if anyone else did.

Duck shield!
