Hi Dmitry

When looking at mail I always look at a few things.
Firstly initial 'look'. Which in the case of yours makes me wonder why there is no corrosion at all.
So, the weight means it must be steel, so is it galvanised/zinc coated? If not then why doesn't it have some rusty patches?

Second the construction. Its simple butted links. Have a close look, are they all round and the same size, are they all closed perfectly?

Thirdly, try bending one near the edge of the shirt and see if it resists being opened like its heat treated/tempered in some way or just bends.

I wouldn't want to make a guess until I know these things. In any event a good looking shirt!

Regards
Gene
