FWM braided chain for helmets

- Suitable for exhibition fights -

A helmet braid is a chain mail that in the Middle Ages was attached to a helmet as additional neck and shoulder protection. The preferred helmet types here were the nasal helmet, but especially the late medieval close-fitting helmet and its variant, the gugel dog.

This ulfberth chain collar has an authentic serrated braided edge and a sewn-on strip of thick cowhide. The customer must attach the helmet attachment holes to these leather strips. For attachment to helmets such as b. hundsgugeln or bascinet.

The FWM braid is a variant of the European flat ring braid. One row consists of flat rings riveted in a wedge shape, the second row consists of stamped rings of the same size. This method saved a lot of work in the Middle Ages and also in ancient times, as only every second ring had to be riveted. The braiding is 4 in 1.

Riveting using wedge rivets (triangular rivets) did not appear until the late Middle Ages. The braid types frw and fwm are therefore only suitable for late medieval depictions.
