Without a context to go by, this is not that easy. I will take a guess that you are referring to a piece of armor. A buckler is a small shield that attaches to your forearm with leather straps that are buckled together. It enables you to block attacks by just moving your arm in the way. Lighter and faster than a traditional shield, in post medieval times, it was used most when lighter weapons were popular among fighters.

A buckler is a very small shield that you buckle to your forearm, ennabling you to shield yourself in combat and yet have your hands free to wield weapons or whatever. When the use of gunpowder made most forms of armor obsolete, it faded from use.

I'm not sure in what context you heard it, but "buckler", as in "squashbuckler", means a pirate.

Well from playing the game Diablo 2, it is a low grade shield. May mean something different, why don't you type it in a search engine?
