The dealer has this listed as a European mail hauberk, circa 14th-15th century. I have no reason to doubt this, and the dealer is, in my experience, completely trustworthy. My enquiry is simply on the basis that I am totally ignorant when it comes to mail. I have studied a lot of pictures of Indo-Persian, European and Ottoman mail, both in full items and in detail of the links, and am not any the wiser for it. :eek:
My question is- is this a good 14th-15th century European piece, or is it possibly Ottoman/Indo-Persian, or of a different date?
Thanks in advance!
