Thanks guys, in case any of you were wondering it was this shield http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/p-20893-stark-infantry-shield.aspx it's actually only 12 pounds, which doesn't seem that heavy for a rather large piece of steel. I was going to get it as an art piece, but if it doubles as protection from goblinoids and bandits all the better.
