[Bryn-gwlad] Aventail Attatchment

[Sir Lyonel Oliver Grace]

Salut cozyns,

I thought by now you'd have a dozen responses, cozyn Barnet. Since no one 
else has spoken up yet:

Every camail I've seen in a museum was attached with a length of twisted 
steel wire capped at each end with what look like crimped-on metal beads. 
The Black Prince's effigy looks like a reproduction of the same sort of 
twisted wire.

In the SCA, I've not seen anyone duplicate this, but I've seen posts on the 
Armour Archive claiming to have done so. I used leather shoelace. Others 
I've seen have typically been leather laces or twisted sinew. Here's one 
post from the archive:

That post is three years old. You might try posting a question there to see 
if anyone has come up with anything new.

lo vostre per vos servir

Meser Lyonel
