Not certain if this is the right forum, but it seems to be the best fit.

I had never before heard of a duelling shield before, but I recently came across the video above which shows them starting at 2:23.
It's hard to find information on it through my usual method of search & wiki, so I brought it here - Does anyone else have information regarding this strange weapon? Has anyone had experience with it or seen one reconstructed? Has anyone a source of literature or articles regarding it?
I am hoping I can understand this like the more conventional weapons.
Also, any more exotic weapons can be discussed in this thread. This find has rekindled my interest in bizarre combat.
EDIT: Found another video,
