Just a neat picture like bellow.

I my game the Templar does use a shield. Here's how I deal with it:
First: I added the skill Shield under Nimbleness.
Second: after an attack is made on the character with a melee weapon the
character must take a Vamoosing action (discarding the highest card they
have) and then making a Shield skill test with a TN of opponent's
Fightin':weapon skill + 1 for each Raise on the opponent's attacker roll.
Third: if the character succeeds on the roll then the opponent's attack is
blocked as if by 'cover' equal to the shield type (i.e. a wooden shield is
like a wooden door).
Note: I allow my Templar to block firearms only after his Shield skill was
raised to 6. Then the TN became 5 + skill + raises.

Like the device it's just a picture.

It said nothing about his ax in his description or history.
