[Ponte Alto] Light shield basket

[Max Nelson]

P.S.  Your post said swords but the subject line said "shield".  I  
assumed you meant sword basket, however.

If your'e looking for shield baskets, there's information on those on  
the wiki site also (although if you are looking for especially light  
shield baskets, then you might want to go with something like a simple  
grip with a Bokalo aluminum shield cup cover (I have one I'm not using  
if you're interested).

Thanks!

Max
