Chainmail Haubergeon – Blackened Mild Steel 6mm Alternating Dome Riveted Flat and Solid Flat Rings – Close Out

This haubergeon is crafted from flat rings of blackened mild steel – half of the rings are dome riveted and these alternate with solid flat rings. The rings are smaller than many other production mail and this has given this mail haubergeon a tight weave of linked mail.

Chainmail is great protection against cutting and slashing attacks – cutting through metal is simply not easily accomplished. The value of mail against penetrating attacks can vary, depending both on the quality of the mail and the form of the weapon. Swords in the later Medieval period began to be crafted with increasingly thinner tips and quadrangular cross-section geometry – an ideal form for splitting links or simply stabbing through though round gaps! A tightly woven weave of small links, such as this example, aids in protecting against such a thrusting attack.
