New maille coif by Erik D Schmid
B. Patricius:
I first saw that you acquired this over on MyArmoury forums. I am so jealous you got a coif made by THE MAN!! Let alone what a smoking deal you got for it too! Mr. Schmid's work has been the go-to manual for me making my mail right now. Any chance can you post up some really good hi-def pics of the links on the peined side (the outside)? It's okay if it goes to a link too, I just want to get a really good look at them as I work on mine.
I've already made a compromise with my dome riveted mail as I can't fess up the money for the solid punch rings. It'd cost me nearly $600 for 25,000 solid punch rings as that's still cheaper because of bulk rate than getting 18,000 and they're still not correct enough to warrant it.
But if I can get my rivets on the pein side to look even close to right, it'd be a win for me. I'm trying to get mine as close to good as I can. I also saw on the MyArmoury forums that the peined side of wedge riveted mail looks almost identical to dome riveted, and I already have a great pic of an archaeological original 12th century mail for the inside.
thanks bud!
so jealous lol

There you go, 2 high def pics of how my riveted rings look. It's wedge riveted not dome riveted though, round ringed too, which I have never seen any commercially available maille thats round ring wedge riveted.
B. Patricius:
Thanks Sir Ulrich! Those are just the pics I needed. Is it okay if I post them on my pinterest board? That's basically become my virtual hard-drive for all my research 8) I kept filling up my externals before I found that place lol

If it doesn't say "flat ring riveted", it's round ring. It isn't as common as flat ring since it's harder (more time consuming) to make, but there's at least a couple places that I know of that make it. KOA has some (through GDFB I think).
Sir Ulrich:
Go ahead and save the pics I dont mind.
Anyway, I was saying round ring wedge riveted. There is round ring dome riveted but I never saw round ring wedge riveted maille offered ANYWHERE. The rings for this maille are small too, I dont know if they're 6MM but they look 7MM I think.
