Research on a fine medieval German mail shirt.

Dear Jim,

I`m enjoyed about your interest. I know David Edge`s article and I fully agree wit his and your opinion. It is noticeable that these talismanic brass rings sometimes bear stamped symbols or are plain, but never have inscriptions. The inscribed rings are allwayas located at the neck.
I attach a photo of such talismanic rings arranged in the form of a cross, from another mail shirt in my collection.

Best wishes

Susi
