RM Chain Mail Square piece (20 x 20 cm), ID 6mm, natural

- Very authentic and fully battle-ready -

This square piece of chain mail is used to repair, lengthen or craft your own fitted chain mail accessories. We also offer packets of loose rings to make your own chain mail.

The RM chain maille type
is composed of small rings with an inner diameter of 6 mm only. As per original finds, it is woven with alternate rows of riveted round rings (domed rivet heads) and punched flat rings. Both then and now, the extremely small inner ring diameter has made it possible to manufacture this particular chain mail out of 1 mm steel without impairing its effectiveness, and thereby to achieve a weight reduction of about 30 - 35%.
The common abbreviation for this particular weave is RM (Roman Mail), as it was favoured by the ancient Celts and Romans (Lorica Hamata). However, it remained in use throughout the ages and was commonly worn up to the late Middle Ages.
