Of course, mail means mesh of chains, so it's correct.

Tim: extremely nice work! Unfortunatuly I didn't even had the chance to try making something this beautiful...

for myself, it'd be a waste, as I'd beat it to pieces, for others... in a country where 100$ for a hot-peened longsword is " too expensive"...

I get less than 1000$ for a gothic vollharnisch... but they want it to be as good as W.H. III's stuff...*

What kind of blade is it? I mean, sharp or not, spring or stainless, hammered or ground, etc?
BTW, could you tell me how did you make the pommel? It very nice, but I nearly can't beleive that someone could hammer out such beauty... And I love learning new things...
*(sorry for this, I'm just always angry because this. I can't even try making art-like pieces, as no-one would buy it here. This is kind of frustrating.)
