Research on a fine medieval German mail shirt.

[Matchlock]

Hi Swordfish,

Your mail coat sure looks impressive, and I hope it will turn out to be a both impressive and incentive impulse to activate the interest in VERY early objects of arms and armor ...

Great and important piece anyway,so: well done!

I'm afraid though that the cast and punched inscription on the attached maker's brass ring might remain illlegible because it most probably represents an abbreviated and stylized common Medievial ethic motto - or was meant to give a hint to the sarwürcher (the original German and guild name).

Best,
MIchael
