Thanks for the reply. Although based on what I know from Middle Eastern armour, there seems to be quite a large lag in time between being able to make plated mail armour (theoretically, they could have appeared as soon as its components did, that being, chain mail, and lamellar plates) and it actually appearing. Although a separate scale cuirass / coat on top of a chain-mail hauberk is quite likely and was used in Sassanian (and maybe Parthian) Iran too. One interpretation (although not my preferred one) of the Dura lancer graffito is a chain-mail shirt with lamellar plates embedded into the weave of the chainmail.

You may well have seen these pictures, I am not sure where they come from as the site I found it on was in Russian though (and, unfortunately, I didn't save the link)

Ooh, good luck with the new helmet. Looking forward to seeing pictures when you get it. Now we need to get you mounted and shooting at a gallop too :mrgreen:
