Hello, the riveted section looks quite good to me, especially in the overlap as it is not too big. But the inner diameter to wire thickness ratio is off to me. Also I like my aventails more dense and round in appearance.
When I finish my aventail I will post a picture it is of alternated solid and flat ring wedge riveted rings.
I read in a German forum about the tinning of original
maille shirts. I think with something like this it would look much better, I always wondered why the riveted section was so perfectly blending into the ring, things I didnīt see on modern reproductions. Tinning might be the answer.
