Speaking of that specific location, I just got my new brass besagews. :) These will look nice when I paint them up.
Sir Brian, these are rather large ones. Do yours secure better by leather ties to your maille or fastened to your spaulders??
Sir Wolf:
pictures or you dont own them

I just have mine laced to my haubergeon. Just curious how ‘large’ is large? I believe mine are 5” in diameter. ???

Perhaps I'll take a picture of my 'armoring' bench and tools on Monday when I have off and can get more done on it! ;)
Lord Dane:
Oh guess not then... 5" in diameter as well. Just the way they looked on my frame. They are not perfectly flat like rondels.
Sir Brian:
Well here are some pictures of my 'improvised' armoring bench which affords me greater comfort for my back and the opportunity to watch/listen to the television while I work. The second picture is my sorted tool and material while the third is the obligatory dual pliers setup for removing the temporary butted links and closing the riveted links prior to riveting them. :)
