FWM standard, flatring wedge rivets mixed, ID 8mm, natural
A mail collar worn strapped around the neck is called a pixane or standard. Standards were worn during the late medieval period and were sewn on to clothing or gambesons.
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.
