Кольчужный горжет из Лондонского музея

Here are images of an actual 15th century maille standard in the British Museum in London . It was found at London Wall near Moorgate Street . It appears to me that that neck links are 8mm but made of a much thicker wire than normal, maybe 14 or 12 gauge wire and they are round wire to increase the thickness. The lower portion of the collar looked like your standard 18 gauge wire flat riveted link. The brass dags were butted flat wire with one or two round links that dangled from the thicker neck area.
