Profil poświęcony kolczugom, zdjęcia zabytków, co nieco o reprodukowaniu.

Ten wpis mi się rzucił w oczy (gość na też profil na instagramie). Mowa o powszechności splotu kółek 6w1, w kolczych kołnierzach (w stójkach) w kontekście zabytków. Można oczywiście powiedzieć, że zachowało się tyle, nie więcej, ale dysproporcja jest widoczna. Znacznie powszechniejsze są ze splotem zwykłem, po prostu kółka w stójce są odpowiednio mniejsze.
"6in1 mail collar - How often did that exist?
You see Charles Lin with his gorgeous 15th-century mail collar. He made the band around the neck from 6mm round rings linked 6in1. It took him 40 hours just for that part.
As a response to his pictures shared on FB, some of you were asking whether these 6in1 meshes truly did exist. In fact, the vast majority of European chainmail neckbands are made from bulky rings linked 4in1. They look dense because the rings are comparably small in diameter compared with their wire crosssection.
To shed some light on that question I ran through mail collars and similar pieces in my memory. What I found was 3 pieces with 6in1 and 47 pieces with 4in1. That means 6% of these pieces are 6in1. 94% are dense 4in1. You find the full list in the comments.
Anyway, for us building such collars, the 6in1 is a handy way to achieve that look without making custom rings. To do so you have to add rings row by row or column by column and set the rivets before adding new rings.
