A Reply to Cyril Stanley Smith on Mail Making Methods
A habergeon of Westwale
In May 1957 a mail shirt of quite exceptional quality was acquired for the Tower of London Armouries. The purchase was made through Master Sergeant G. A. Gordon, a member of the United States Army serving in Germany, who was good enough to draw the writer's attention to the shirt and subsequently to arrange for it to be sent to the Tower for examination

A Mail Shirt from the Hearst Collection
This mail shirt, which was in the Hearst Collection and is now in the Armouries of the Tower of London, dates from the fourteenth century. By tradition it was the property of Rudolph IV, Duke of Austria, Carinthia, and Ferrette (1339–65), but, as far as is known, there are no records to prove this. It is, however, a fine, early shirt which is well worth recording. The shirt is constructed of alternate rows of riveted and whole rings, of rump leng…
The Mail Shirt from Sinigaglia
This mail shirt, which is now in the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh and was in the Meyrick and Noel Paton collections, dates from the fourteenth century. A little is known about its more recent history. Apparently it was bought by a Jewish dealer from an ancient family at Sinigaglia, near Bologna, ‘in whose possession it had been beyond any of their records’. It has been published before but because it is in such a good state of preservation,…
Three metal-work hoards of the Roman period from southern Scotland
A re-examination of three Roman hoards that were originally analysed by James Curle in the 1930’s. It is noted that although each hoard contains both Roman and native items, the majority of the finds are related to farming and not warfare. The article concludes with a catalogue of all the finds from each hoard and comparative analysis with similar finds
Further research into the construction of mail garments
In a previous article the writer described the technique used by the armourers of the past to make mail. Very little is known about the craftsmen who made it. It is not yet possible to date pieces of mail with the same degree of accuracy with which pieces of plate armour can be dated. There are several reasons for this lack of knowledge. In the first place mail is a structure which does not lend itself to the use of armourer's marks, and though p…
The mail-maker's technique
Mail has been used since very early times and it is therefore surprising that so little is known about the methods and tools used for its construction. As it appeared unlikely that original tools or further information would come to light, recent research has been carried out on new lines. It was hoped that the methods found to be the most practical would produce mail similar in appearance to the medieval riveted mail. These methods would have to…
