Ironman verdict
It is worn in the shields and off-hand slot at tier 25 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Shields and off-hands list. Black shield (h1) is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 979 coins.
