Questions about the product RRR Chainmail Crown: Riveted Helmet Protector (8mm ID)

What is the difference between the RRR chainmail avenue suitable for stage combat with riveted round rings and a coffin made of flat rings (FRR) in terms of protection factor and historical authenticity?

The main difference between the RRR chainmail (round ring, riveted) and an FRR chainmail (flat ring, riveted) lies in the historical period and weight. In terms of protection, both variants are suitable for reenactment combat due to their full riveting and offer a high level of safety. However, the FRR variant with flat rings offers the advantage of lighter weight with comparable stability. Regarding historical authenticity, the RRR chainmail with round rings is the correct choice for portrayals of the Early and High Middle Ages (e.g., the Viking Age), as flat rings are not documented for these periods. Flat ring chainmail like the FRR only appeared in the Late Middle Ages (14th/15th centuries) and is therefore more authentic for later portrayals.
How heavy is the RRR chainmail made of riveted round rings and how is it usually attached to helmets such as bascinets or houndstooth helmets?

Depending on the model, the RRR chainmail aventail weighs between approximately 3.1 kg and 3.5 kg. For attachment to a helmet, it has a leather strip at the top edge into which the buyer can individually punch holes to fix it to helmets such as bascinets or houndstooth helmets using rivets or leather straps.
What material and dimensions does the leather strip sewn onto the top of the RRR chainmail have, and do the buyer have to make the mounting holes themselves?

The leather strip is made of thick cowhide and is 54 cm long. The customer must drill the mounting holes themselves to allow for individual adjustment to the specific helmet shape and rivet position.
What care instructions should be followed for an untreated RRR chainplate to protect it from rust in the long term and to maintain its flexibility?

To protect an untreated RRR chainmail aventail from rust in the long term and to maintain its flexibility, it should be thoroughly dried after each use and then lightly rubbed with gun oil or Ballistol. For storage, a dry place is recommended, ideally on an armor stand, while storage in plastic bags should be avoided to prevent condensation. If rust has already formed, the chainmail can be cleaned by moving the rings against each other (self-cleaning effect) or in a drum with sand, avoiding the use of wire brushes to prevent scratching the surface.
