Interesting pictures!
It might be that some of the really early spina shields in Austria and southern Germany took a later path than the later Gallic shields, but I don't have any references on that place and time. I would look into whether those were iron bosses over a wooden core, or all-iron bosses applied to a flat board.
I think Canestrelli does not go further into central Europe than Switzerland and Tirol.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
