FWM Aventail, Flatring wedge riveted/solid
- Fully battle-ready -
An aventail is a piece of chain mail, which in the Middle Ages was fastened to the helmet for additional neck and shoulder protection. Favoured helms were for example the nasal helmet, but most notably the late medieval bascinet or one of its versions, the houndskull or pig-face helm.
This chainmail aventail from Ulfberth features an authentic jagged edge and a thick cowhide strap sewn to the top. The fixing holes are to be punched in the leather by the customer.
The FWM chain maille type is a variant of the European flat ring mesh. It consists of a row of wedge riveted flat rings followed by a row of punched rings of equal size. This alternating technique, which was not only applied in the Middles Ages but also in the Antiquity already, could save a great deal of work as only every second ring needed to be riveted. The weave is 4 in 1.
However, the riveting by means of wedge rivets (triangular rivets) only made its appearance in the late Middle Ages. The mail FRW and FWM mail types are thus only suitable for late medieval re-enactment.

- Length of leather piece: approx. 55 cm
