Chainmail Standard – Dome Riveted – Flat Ring / Solid Ring

Mail was thought to have been invented by the Celts. The earliest example was found in a Celtic Chieftain’s burial in Romania. It was a popular form of defence for the warrior elite of the Viking and Early Medieval periods. It is often (wrongly) referred to as chainmail but this terminology was first introduced by Sir Walter Scott in 1822 in his novel “The Fortunes of Nigel”. In the medieval period it was simply known as “Mail”. 

Standards surround and protect the upper chest and throat between the breastplate and helm.

This mail Standard is made from riveted 9 mm flat ring / solid ring combination and dome rivet construction.
