A fragment of iron wedge riveted mail armour, dating from the 15th- early 16th century. Most of rings retain their mobility and have not corroded together, The fragment consists of 21 rings. While wedge riveting is predominant from the later 15th century, the ring size and quality would suggest a 16th century date for this fragment. Dimensions: length: 98.50mm; width: 15.12mm; thickness: 3.36mm; weight: 11.23g Other examples of mail armour on the database are LON-72FE79, LON-664EA2, PUBLIC-5F69C7 and SUR-F11D27.

Iron chain mail fragment. Three circular rings of diameter 18.3mm, 19.7mm and 20mm and thickness c.2.5mm, each bent to curved profile and closed at its butted ends – marked by fine silvery lines; and threaded through each other so each ring is linked to two companions. Suggested date: possibly Early Medieval to Medieval, 1000-1200 Length (as assembled): 30mm, Width: 26mm, Weight: 7.38gms

Fragment of copper alloy wedge rivetted 16th century mail armour. A rectangular patch of mail armour produced in the late 15th - early 16th century, it has been made using a combination of rivetted and 'solid' copper alloy rings, with iron rivets. The rings are small in size (4.79mm internal diameter). The rings retain their mobility and have not corroded together, piece consists of 19 x 9 rings (approx 171 rings) woven in the european 4 in 1 pattern, as standard for this period. There is a single butted ring inserted as a later repair to the piece, which probably came from a sleeve c…

A section of 10 Post Medieval copper alloy chainmail links, probably dating to the 15th-16th century. Each link is circular and flattened where the ends meet with holes to rivet the ends together. Traces of the iron rivets are present in some examples. The links have a dark brown pattination and some have a black substance covering them. Several have also been bent out of shape, but are still attached. Dimensions: average diameter: 8.05 mm; total weight: 0.88g.

A section of Medieval-Post Medieval copper alloy chainmail, dating 15th-16th century. The links are all formed from copper alloy wire, which have been bent into loops. At one end there is a lump of concretion and iron corrosion which appears to be rectangular. This suggests it may have been in contact with an iron object whilst deposited. Most links have a mid-dark brown pattination with some having red iron corrosion product on them. Dimensions: length: 76.49 mm; average diameter: 7.28 mm; total weight: 5.00g.

A copper-alloy ring that possibly belongs to a a piece of ring or chain mail armour, of possible Roman date. The ring may also belong to a sword pommel of Early Medieval date. The ring is circular in section, 3.36mm in thickness and 19.01mm in diameter, with the ends fused or welded together to form a circle. One face is more worn than the other, but the ring has suffered from corrosion and inconsistent loss of patina.

5 links of late Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy chainmail, dating to the late 14th century. Four of the links have been cast as circles. There is a central link that has rivet holes at each end, which overlap to connect the links. It would appear that this mail was formed by alternating riveted and cast links to create chainmail. A similar example can be found in the British Museum collections (1856,0701.2244), which originates from the Tower of London itself and dates to the late 14th century. This example is also formed of alternating riveted and cast links. As there are on…

A fragment of Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy chainmail, dating between 15th and 16th century. As the ends are distorted it is difficult to determine how the link would have connected to others. However as there are no rivet holes visible, it would likely be attached by bending the links to connect to one another. The shape of the end suggests it is a waste product. Dimensions: diameter: 10.11 mm; weight: 0.16g.
