Hi Gelu,
Thanks for the post/translation. Maybe this is lost in translation, however is the notation implying that the fragment has over 3000 scales? If so they are either extremely small, or it is part of a much larger piece (such as horse). Just because it states it is part of the neck, does not to me mean it is for use on a person. Clearly the horse armor known has scales around the neck area.
My reproduced scale armor, made to the right scale size (at lease one known type) has 3300 scales for the whole piece. If only the neck area for this fragment has that many, then those scales must be microscopic!
