Thus begins my thousand year reign of blood!
The Demoman LARPing with his imaginary shield

The Heraldic Targe is a scrapped secondary weapon for the Demoman. It was added to the game files in the December 23, 2010 Patch and removed entirely in the January 9, 2014 Patch. In a 2025 Source Filmmaker leak, the model for the Heraldic Targe was found. It is visually similar to the Chargin' Targe, but without the splintered-off piece. The inside of the shield is entirely white and would have been where the decal could have been applied.[1]

It is unclear how the weapon would have functioned, although it is highly likely that it would have been similar to the Chargin' Targe.

Filename strings for a Chargin' Targe with support for the Decal Tool were later found in some .lst files from the December 17, 2010 Patch when the cp_degrootkeep.lst file in the tf\reslists folder was added:

"tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_targe_user.vmt"
"tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_targe_user.vtf"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.ani"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.dx80.vtx"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.dx90.vtx"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.jpg"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.mdl"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.phy"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.sw.vtx"
"tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.vvd"

The Chargin' Targe's c_model (normal and festive) files are located in tf/models/weapons/c_models/c_targe/, where the c_targe_user.mdl model is also located in the 2025 Source Filmmaker leak.
