Fantastic work m'lord!

wow. awesome! :D
is that butted maille or is it actually welded and riveted?

The mail is made from cotter riveted, flat rings, typical for that period

glad to hear that! most you see is just the butted type that was never really used(save for a few rare cases of course).
did you make it yourself? i made a hauberk in that style of ring (riveted flat) and it is not something I think I'll ever do again

Noo i didn't made it by mi self, i bought it^^ And just bent rings don't work, we fight rought so riveted rings are duty

that's the smart way to do it! XP
i did a test with the riveted maille and butted and the butted one was pathetic, anything pointy got through! Also did a small section with vertical rows forge welded and the connecting links riveted and there was pretty much no difference in the strength (just much more work in my opinion)
and just for the record: the "hauberk" i made had no sleeves, and wasn't knee length. I got lazy XD

The Armorys of leeds did new test with mail, and they show that mail together wit padded cloth blocks arrows and similar waepons, not to 100percet but good enought ti survive

I believe it, the riveted maille and welded maille tested the same (I couldn't rend apart a single ring) but butted maille was worthless. Most people forget the padded jack underneath. which is bad because its half the armour! XD
the only thing that i could get to penetrate entirely was a bodkin headed war arrow from 20 feet from a 54# longbow

Sieht echt klasse aus *.*

Vielen dank!

This looks amazing! How much does it weight?

Together with helmet, sword an shield 18kg

Mm, it looked really bulky, padding under?

Yes the brown iss a padded garmet, made from leather, felt and linen to protect the body angainst the impact

wow, my sexy posing in the background ;)

metal is better than meat

I thought Saxons prefered full head to toe coverage?

Depends from the period, that's now the 7 century, if you have a look at Sutton Hoo Burial Mound I and XVII, and the Pioneer/Wolllaston find. Helmet, maybe mail, some kind of arm protection (my armguards are inspirated by Valsgärde burial IIX) On the helmet decorations of that period and some stones you see, always longe lines of warrioers wearing an helmet, an wrapowercoat and some ornaments show us maybe mail, because we know that they used mail as armour. What you mean is more around 1000-1066 in this periid the anglo-saxon Huskarls used long suits of mail.

like in that one castle scene from "the song remains the same"
