I think your sample #5 is not European. The demi-riveted construction, round rivets, and interior point at the overlap suggest otherwise. Erik mentioned that interior point near the break of pages 2 & 3 in a previous discussion.

The owner of hauberk #5 told me that it is all riveted,.

Sorry Eric, I missed your previous posting, or simply forgot a response. All of the detail photos show all riveted construction except the second one. It could be that the photo got mis-labeled or mis-filed and is from another armor, OR someone could have added pieces of demi-riveted mail to extend the skirting or sleeves of an all riveted shirt. Perhaps the owner can clarify where photo #2 came from?
Interestingly enough, the second photo shows a probable repair or possible tailoring towards the upper left which disrupts the normal demi-riveted pattern. This is necessary in demi-riveted construction when tailoring, but sometimes leads to multiple rows of all riveted rings, or rows which change ring type (solid or riveted) half-way through.

Mart I was thinking that maybe there was a repair made using a patch of old mail, I recently saw an Indian theta link mail and plate shirt that had a patch of demi riveted mail inserted to repair a hole. I asked for more pictures, still waiting.

Sadly I was without my decent camera, just iPhone pics so everything depended on the lighting. I'll do some re-sizing on the shirt pics and post up.
I can see some rivets on the mail mitten but couldn't swear to all of them. Also a bit limited at the mo on doing a zoom on that image so if someone wants me to email them the originals, drop me a line. mark@griffinhistorical.com

River found would be a good guess.

Mark, thanks for sending me your pictures, I am going through them, there are a few really interesting one. Here is my first question, there are two gaunlets with intact mail mittens, are these both early Milanese gauntlets? The mail mittens look very similar but the gauntlets are obviously not a pair.

6 in 1 mail http://vk.com/photo11062527_121729260
The measurements 66.6cm-162.2cm looks like a shirt. Can't tell if the whole shirt is 6 in 1 or not.
