I got a set of riveted mail that i just dont see useing anymore. It was kinda a spur of the moment buy and now i remorse it. Its brand new. The wire is 16 gauge steel with a 3/8" inner ring diameter. Fits up to 54 inch chest. 33 inches long with approx. 18 inch sleeves. It weights somewhere around 23 to 25 lbs. And its zinc coated to prevent rust and what not. I would rather have something along the lines of a cuirass in stainless. Preferably with faulds. Im a kinda small guy so if you have a cuirass your willing to trade that will fit a 35 inch cheast and 32 inch waist then let me know. Ill also consider a set of steel lameller but it must be at least 18 gauge. Or a brigandine style of body armour but it must also be of 18 gauge steel.
I would be willing to sell it for 375$ plus shipping. Email me for pictures. But only truely interested people please ask for pics. Ill have to send it from my phone which is costly. Maybe ill use the 375$ from this sale on a new camera LOL.
Couple questions for ya.....
Is it mild steel??
Are the rings flattened (square cross section)?
Wedgeor domed rivets?
Who's the maker? I assume it's the maker that listed it as up to a 54" chest?
Thanks.
Im not sure of the maker but this is where i got it from. http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/riveted-s...-1089.html
By looking at it and wearing it, it seems well made. You can see the rivets in the pic on the link. As for the size, yes, thats the makers remark. But it is very big on me if that helps. The sleeves go past my elbows and to the middle of my forarms. The length goes all the way right above my knees. My measuremeants are in the first post except my height. Im 5'10
Ohh and the rings are not flattend. Except where the rivet is of course.
im thinking about keeping it but if anyone has any interest let me know. Ill still sell or trade if you let me know in time. I think im gonna brake it down to make some other stuff. Not sure when ill get started on it though.
