Thank you for explaining these in detail so we can better examine other examples using these guidelines. Mail is something not particularly in the mainstream in arms and armor study, so that really helps.

Ibrahiim, thank you as well for posting the earlier discussion which helps as comparative examination. While it is determined the mail is probably not African, it helps to know more on the African forms to recognize the differences from others.

Thank you Jim ... As we power forward the Library expands immensely and in fact is the main contender for useful cross references and facts alike... We therefor share the front running with specialised publications and indeed the web as THE source for a lot of weaponry details. Library is now hand in hand with this excellent subject and the excellent support given by all participants ...Well done estcrh, Colin et al.
Regards,
Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
