in  question, but I do know the immenes advantage (light weight) and  
disadvantage (shreds easily) of butted aluminum  maille.



I, unfortunately, know the quality of a product that looks  identical.  A 
local Bjornsborg squire bought a hauberk like the one shown  and it blew out in 
several places, where it was struck against armor, at a  school demo.  Heck, it 
"tore" on a chain link fence. 
 
Again, I do not know if this is the same, but it sure looks like it.   OTOH, 
the mild steel riveted camail I use works quite well.  Got that from  Therion 
Arms, but just the camail was 120.00 bucks.  A good price by the  way it has 
withstood my use.
 
 
 
Peace,
