What are the BMSB chain legs with an inner diameter of 8 mm made of, and do they offer protection against corrosion due to their burnished surface?
The BMSB chainmail leg guards are made of untreated, blued steel rings with an inner diameter of 8 mm. The blued surface offers some protection against corrosion; however, the leg guards should still be oiled regularly to ensure lasting rust protection.

What is the weight of a pair of these chainmail leggings, and what design details, such as the back design and the wire thickness of the rings, distinguish this model?
