So, I'm curious, what have you found to be proper guiges? And what kind of shields are you using them with? |
This might answer both the OPs question and yours, Steven. In this picture:

from Codex Wallerstein (part B) we see spears being used with small Ecranches. Other pictures in this series make me suspect these shields are being used with guiges and that the artist simply didn't draw them. Moreover, if you just put your hand through both the hand and forearm strap as we see here I can tell you from personal experience that the shield tends to roll over on your arm and become useless. Moreover, in this picture:

from Gladiatoria we see an almost identical shield that's clearly hanging on a guige.
Not at all conclusive, I know, but a good start and I feel pretty comfortable with them.
