[Regia-NA] Mail?

[Brand N Flossi]

There are as far as I know no Sq. section Mail found for this period.

There are some Sub-rectangular rings.... But I've never been able to speak
to some one who describes something as sub rectangular to get an idea of
what they are talking about.

Rings in this period seem to be with round / oval flat with some
sub-rectangular thrown in.

Please be aware though there are precious few finds for mail for anyone to
make a definite.

Later rings are flat/round with quite a few half round and half flat. (2 in
the Wallace collection). One in Outreamer was made up of slit rings (kind of
a smaller version of the 2 lapped keyrings....)

Hope that Helps

Brand
