Description

A detail view of the rings, notice that they are very worn. The wire cross section closely resembles a Reuleaux triangle, possibly because the adjacent rings abrade the wire at three curved points of contact. All well worn historical maille I've examined exhibited some amount of this tri-curve wear but the angles vary depending on the aspect ratio of the rings.
