If you do not want to "freehand" the design, you can easily make a stencil. This way each one would be identical.

You don't need to mold and cast the entire shield. Just the pattern. Instant mold or even greenstuff can be used for this. Once it has set, you should apply a VERY thin skin of putty onto the blank shield of the womt. Then use the new mold as a stamp, gently pressing it onto the shield. Make sure you use a lubricant such as petroleum jelly otherwise the putty will get pulled off of the shield and be stuck to your mold. It may take a couple of attempts to get right, but once you get the feel of how much putty to use, and how hard to apply pressure you'll be sorted.

If you use instant mold, the putty won't stick to it. In fact, it;s hard enough to get tit to stay there in the first instance.
