Well...apart from the one from Thorsbjerg and two from Vimose that is..which are practically complete. This is one of the Vimose shirts (with a close up of the rings)...I think you can see some evidence for tailoring under the neck. The rings are a mix of punched solids and drawn round wire riveted.

These are excellent pictures! Do you have any more of this hauberk or the other Vimose/Thorsbjerg finds?

Another related question!
does anyone have a source for non galvanized steel wire (so I don't poison myself annealing it) 
Or better yet, does someone have a source for non galvanized iron wire?
Websites appreciated, specific product pages even more appreciated! 
Thank you!

Just wanted to add that I get (at the moment) a fair bit of my gear from Medieval-Fight Club, better still, they're based in Australia as well!
