Not really. The amount of overlap and the quality of the riveting is as much, if not more important than the size of the links. The stuff coming out of India/Pakistan is sadly lacking in this regard and there isn't a single surviving example from any time period that resembles this product.
true, but there are some German mail makers who are very close if not as sturdy in their products as found Roman mail. I will ask some of them for samples and will try shooting a Japanese bow on them somewhere in the future, as well as stabb the stuff with gladii and pugio.. I will probably use ballistics Gel as a backing, or a dead Pig.
