Hamata

At that price I fear they might be butted...

What do you mean with "butted"? Not rivet?

Sorry, my English is quite bad :?

Thank you Jim!

I would first have to ask Antoni Feldon about how his chain mails are made. Its costs starts by 750 €. I would be astonished if Antonis hamatas would be butted! But who knows ........

Seeing that his other prices are rather high compared too a lot of other dealers, and that correct rivetted mail takes so long to produce in comparison to the other things he makes, I guess it will be butted mail.
But perhaps he does not make them himself. In that case I can believe the shirts are made alternating solid/rivetted.

Vale,

Here is an updated photo of us at an event Saturday night. Of course, none of us were organized enough to bring the camera -- lot's of finger-pointing and "I thought you were bringing it..." :oops:

But, I am the legionary on the far right.

I will kit up today when my wife returns home and take more detailed photos -- to include those I owe Jim of the back.

Sorry!

Well, dog-gone it! :x

I keep trying to add the pic which is 96kb in size, and keep getting told that I have reached my 1MB upload maximum.

Can anyone help?

That picture is probably fine, but maybe some older picture you've posted could be resized smaller? The 1MB is a set amount, and cumulative, IIRC.

[Tarbicus]

Edge, you need to be nice to Jasper and ask if you can have some more, sir?

[Cornelius Quintus]

Ave Edge,

congrats - looks very nice!

A close range photograph also would be interesting to see more detail of the rings.

BTW: Already received a seg together with the hook ? :wink:

[Gaius_Calvus]

Thanks, Brothers.

I don't recall posting that many photos, but I guess I have lost track!

I received the hamata (this in response to Heiko's post) and the hooks from Matt Lukes.

I got the 6mm hamata from Find-It Armory, and it was the prototype so that's why I have it so early.

I ordered the hooks and buttons from Matt Lukes as soon as I ordered the hamata, and he was kind enough to make them for me in time to mount when I received the hamata.

I will try to post some more pics ASAP, close-ups as well as shots of the back for Jim.

Well,

I just deleted one of the previous pics in this thread, and tried to add another, and keep getting the darned error message.

Ave Edge,

my 1MB space is also filled to its limit.

You can start a photobucket (or something similar) account for a free upload of pictures and add the links to them to your post here on RAT.

Only the link is visible then, but better than no pic at all.

[Gaius_Calvus]

OK -- thanks to Heiko I have a Photobucket account.

Here is an image of me wearing the hamata, not a good one, a situation I will remedy in a day or two when I can get kitted out and have some daytime pics made.

I can only look at that picture and drool. The hamata looks great! Can't wait for mine to arrive!

[Gaius_Calvus]

Yup. It's a good product.

Just remember I did some extra work to it. :wink:

Compare my pics to the originals in the marketplace.
