Hi Marcus,
Yes I know, that is what I meant by not historically perfect. They should indeed be alternating rows of solid rings and riveted rings.
I believe a couple of Indian companies now do Roman hamata, but I have not seen any as yet. Or indeed heard anything about how good it is. Riveted in my opinion is better than butted if it is going to see any hard use.
