    Can anyone project an approx. date on this 26" x 19" "Six Beards" coat of arms heater shield? (Marco Barbarigo hand inscribed!). I realize it is NOT a 15th c shield! (would it be a Victorian copy?); the rivets (albeit) the riveting itself appears to be of good quality! (see photos for all!). Thank you!
