Because this post is a "Check this out" link rather than an active attempt to start a discussion, this thread belongs in the OT forum.

Thanks so much for the info Larry! 
I would like to hear of your opinion on this particular item as under my view you have the most authorized word in this field.
All your researches are always welcomed by forumites immersed in all the matters concerning Scottish weapons of auld.
Cheers,
Pat

BTW, I think this 19th. C. replica is quite similar to one targe featured in Ancient Scottish Weapons – Plate III , Fig 6.-
