Hello, The only size ring I have enough of to make a hauberk right now are the 1/2" Aluminized steel rings (like galvanized but does not darken out). If you would like to come by and take a look at the rings and a hauberk made from them, give me a call. I have several other types as well just not enough at this time to complete a hauberk I would need to get them made and shiped out or you could pick them up later. My number 438-2674 Kevin >>> Lanae A. Parris 12/09/98 10:08pm >>> Dear Kevin, I am interested in buying some rings for my son. Neither one of us knows how to make the rings, and he does want a chain mail shirt bad enough to make it himself, which is why he took the classes (in Calontir at RUSH). He has a small piece that he made in class, with rings about 1/2" in diameter. I may be in Tulsa on Saturday morning if you have any to sell.
