These are the devices we use for our Medieval persona's when re-enacting in the Society for Creative Anachronism. 
The one on the right is Keith's and the one on the left is Kim's.  Check out this website for more information to get your own personal device and create a persona.  (www.sca.org.)
Everything medieval can be found here!  Even the best shopping on the planet for your re-enacting needs.
This website can also give you more information on how to join a local group, and come play in the new modern middle ages.  Armoured combat (full contact) with swords, axes, polearms, and knives made from rattan, a hard bamboo like material, is also a large part of this fun-filled activity.  Costuming, brewing, calligraphy, illumination, armouring, story telling, and singing are other enjoyable pursuits available.
