The lantern shield is a small shield combined with a lantern used during the Italian Renaissance (15th and 16th century Italy) especially for night time duels. A number of specimens survive. Their defining feature is a small circular shield – a buckler – combined with a lantern, or a hook from which to hang a lantern, intended to blind the opponent at night or in duels fought at dawn. Some more elaborate examples might incorporate gauntlets, spikes, sword blades, and also a mechanism to alternatively darken or release the light of the lantern.

  • The lantern shield is a small shield combined with a lantern used during the Italian Renaissance (15th and 16th century Italy) especially for night time duels. A number of specimens survive. Their defining feature is a small circular shield – a buckler – combined with a lantern, or a hook from which to hang a lantern, intended to blind the opponent at night or in duels fought at dawn. Some more elaborate examples might incorporate gauntlets, spikes, sword blades, and also a mechanism to alternatively darken or release the light of the lantern. The most peculiar example is the one now kept at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, made in the 1540s. Swordsmen dueling at dawn are reported to have carried lanterns during the 16th and 17th centuries, and fencing manuals of the period integrated the lantern into their lessons, using it to parry blows and blind the opponent. The manuals sometimes show the combatants carrying the lantern in the left hand wrapped behind the back. It is believed that the lantern shield was never actually used in combat, but rather for patrolling Italian city streets at night. The lantern halberd and lantern pistol are other weapons with an integrated lantern. The lantern pistol is a 18th/19th century flintlock pistol and there are two known versions. (en)
  • ランタン・シールドは、武器と盾が一体となった形状をしている特異な武具。 16-17世紀のイタリアで作られ、時にスイス軍の盾と呼ばれる。夜間防衛のために設計された、この攻防一体の武具は約30cmほどの金属バックラーと篭手が一体となり、篭手からは鋸歯状の長いスパイクが伸びている。それだけではなく、盾には着用者の腕と平行に剣身が取り付けられており、これは盾から30cmほど伸びていた。剣身はシールドの端から使用者の肘に向かっても伸びている。 盾には光を漏らさないようにフラップのついたランタンを取り付けることができ、フラップを開けることでランタンの灯りで相手の目をくらますことができたという。 (ja)
  • Lo Scudo-Lanterna è una particolare arma bianca da difesa sviluppata in Italia durante il XVI secolo.Prodotto "ibrido" tra lo scudo propriamente detto e la spada, può essere considerato un buon esempio della passione per la teatralità e la meccanica che caratterizzavano l'ambiente culturale allora dominante nella Penisola: il manierismo.L'arma si compone di un piccolo scudo del tipo targa a cui è internamente agganciato un guanto d'arme "a mittene", orlato di piccole e grandi lame del tipo "daga rompi-spada" (Degenbrecher). Completano questo bizzarro assembramento di armi una lunga lama di spada, tangente i bordi dello scudo, ed una piccola lanterna, aggiunta all'insieme per garantire all'utente anche la possibilità di gettare luce sul nemico in condizioni di scarsa visibilità. Lo scudo-lanterna è una tipologia unica di arma, paragonabile solo ad un prodotto sviluppato nel medesimo periodo presso il Granducato di Moscovia: il Tarch. (it)
