Questions about the product RM chainmail 20x20cm – ID 6mm, untreated

What is the classic composition of RM chainmail 20x20cm and for what purposes, such as repairs, can this 6mm thick, untreated material be used?

RM chainmail is made of untreated steel. This 6mm thick material is primarily used for repairing and extending existing chainmail armor, as well as for crafting individual armor pieces such as chainmail coifs or collars. Due to its untreated surface, it offers a historically authentic look for reenactment, but requires regular maintenance through oiling to prevent rust.
What specific dimensions and manufacturing characteristics distinguish the rings of the RM chainmail, and how should the untreated material be cared for to protect it from corrosion?

The RM chainmail is characterized by a particularly small inner diameter of the rings, approximately 6 mm, with a material thickness of approximately 1.0 mm. These rings are arranged in the classic 4-in-1 weave. Since the material is untreated, it should be regularly rubbed with oil, such as gun oil or Ballistol, to protect against corrosion. Dry storage and regular wear are also recommended, as the friction between the rings naturally removes surface rust.
To what extent does the RM braiding technique combine different ring types based on historical models, and which universal oils are recommended to permanently protect the untreated material from rust?

The RM (Roman Mail) weaving technique is based on historical models, using round rings of round wire, each interwoven with four further rings (4-in-1 pattern). To permanently protect the untreated material from rust, universal oils such as Ballistol Universal Oil or Gunex are recommended, which offer long-lasting corrosion protection and displace moisture.
What tools, such as rivet pliers or loose replacement rings, are required for processing and extending the RM chainmail, and what techniques are used to close the rings?

For processing and extending the RM chainmail, you will primarily need two flat-nose pliers (chain-link pliers) for bending, as well as a special riveting tool if the rings are to be riveted. Loose replacement rings and suitable rivets are required. To close the rings, the ends are guided past each other using the pliers, bent together under tension, and then, in the case of riveted versions, secured with the riveting tool.
