Greetings,

The links on my chainmail gauntlet are 1/4 ID (Inner
Diameter) which is a period diameter.  So, I do not
understand the question when you write "a tighter link
than most period mail."

  As I am just a lurker here, I probably shouldn't
jump in, but back inmy early SCA days a friend of mine
made a pair of mailed gloves (mailedon the back only)
that were litterly icepick proof. Granted they were
atighter link than most period mail, but impressive
none the less.

It is more than obviousthat a thrust will take out a
hand with a chainmailcovering, so that would not need
to be tested.    
    
<snip>I have to say that it's not obvious to me
*chuckle*Has anyone done any testing of this?  The
only tests with thrustsagainst chainmailthat I've seen
have been against something like a sleeve (the
glovesI've seen have smaller links/rings) with long
swords and the like.  Ido know that a butchers chain
glove has kept my cousin's hand safefrom slips with a
point.Curious,Ceallach mac
