nice, looks original to me.. probably made long ago from two differnent peices. as iot says in north africa. you cna see the links are all of uneven sizes.. as in the days before nice rolls of wire things just were not so consistant.

Thank you for the close-ups!

So it is riveted.

And it has clear signs of age.

Original antique, most likely made of two pieces joined together (since the riveting part if the rings is distinctively different for the upper vs. the lower part).
