I presently used tombstone lamellar made of T6 Aluminum and it really works well for rattan combat. The scales disperse the impat extremely well and the movement is just great. I may not use exact materials, but the design of the scales and how they work is very close on how they were made or at least the theory and the remnants we have of them. If I could get the bronze and afford it, I would prefer it. I am going to buy some Red Brass and see how well it will work for scales. For all intents and purpsoses, I will see how stainless holds up and I am sure they will look great.
