Abstract
This is a descriptive report on a 14th Century mail shirt in the Edinburgh Museum. It is composed of large iron rings in alternating rows of whole and riveted rings; the borders are decorated with brass rings, both classes of ring being of diamond section. The whole rings may have been punched from sheet metal, and the riveted rings drawn, the rivets being wedge-shaped and of iron. Details of ring arrangement are fully described. -- AATA
