Wolviex,
I did get your emails, thank you for them! I do have my reservarions as to if it is appropriate for my display, but it will have to do for now
It is generally shorter than the ones in display im museums, but I have seen unusual ones in period iconography (short in lenght or long sleeves). I attach few pics of different mails.
HAM,
I am unable to provide you with answers as to thickness because I have not yet had a chance to examine the mail in person.
Could you please explain to me how would the notches harden the rings?
Do you know where was such process practiced?
