I Want To Be a 13th Century English Knight
Sir James A:
Good links. I can't see enough detail on the wikipedia picture, but good info on the other links.
Sir Ulrich:
One of those maille examples on that viking site resembles mine quite a bit. The flat ring wedge riveted one I mean.
Sir Nate:
Now that there is proof of full round rivet mail in those centurys.
I will go buy it.
Im very very happy.
Sir William:
When you say 'full round rivet' am I right in thinking you mean round links (as opposed to flat)?

As Sir William said, there is round ring and flat ring. Round rivet and wedge rivet. You can have round ring round rivet, flat ring round rivet, flat ring wedge rivet... I haven't seen any repro round ring wedge rivet but there is some that looks to be that style historically.
Some historical maille is also "flat round ring" where the ring is neither round nor flat, but rounded on the sides and flat on the top and bottom. It gets complicated. :)
