Here are some pictures of my SCA heavy buckler being constructed.
The grip is on the front face, so that the balance of the shield is comfortable.
This reduces the apparent weight of the shield, as it sits in the desired position by itself. This way the larger muscles in your arm are used to hold the shield in position, and the smaller muscles are only engaged if an adjustment is needed.
