Description
I purchased this chainmail suit from a small street vendor when I was in Romania earlier this year and was wondering if you could give me some more information about it. I looked through some galleries and it looks very similar to an Indo-persian horsemans vest. I don't know if it is real or not but I was hoping someone could help me out with that. The collar is what concerns me, it appears to be in extremely good condition or replaced. The chainmail itself looks very old, and seems to be in very good condition.
