What happens if I separate a dwarf from his favorite shield?

Our militia commander just got attached to a silly oaken buckler. I was planning on upgrading him to a steel shield. What will happen if I forcibly separate him from his shield?


Solution 1:

Nothing bad will really happen. The best case is that once you unforbid it, he'll just put it in a storage container that he owns. Worst case he'll go grab it again.
