Avete,
Wanted to post these pics of the 6mm Hamata that I received from Find-It Armory, with which I am very pleased.
I replaced the leather (thanks to Peroni for the how-to and great pictures he sent) and the hooks/buttons with some superb work by Matt Lukes.

Cesar,
I will do exactly that! We have an event this weekend and I will don my gear and post more pics on Monday.
I had no armor before this arrived and I re-worked it, so have not posted an impression on RAT until I was no longer relying on "borrowed" equipment. :wink:

Brothers,
The weight is 22 lbs, about 10 kilos.
The cape is attached at the back with a row of mail rings that attach directly along the entire width of the cape. Very sturdy -- in the course of replacing the leather I did a lot of tugging on it.
I'll post some more pics on Monday. The ones I posted are the only ones I have so far -- I'll get some of the back for you Jim.

Is this a prototype? I thought the 6mm shirts were yet to be shipped?

John,
This is THE prototype that Chris mentions on the Marketplace thread, so your information is correct.
I got in early on this one. :wink:
The rest of them have not shipped yet.

What is the most accurate chain mail at the moment? I've heard different things about!
How are the chain mails from Antoni Feldon?

I believe those hand built by Erik Schmidt are the most accurate. Does Anthony Feldon make chain mail?
