Looking at the plates, I suspect a "mail and plates" arrangement with the plates connected by strips of mail. I know many others are more knowledgeable of Eastern European and Turkish/Persian armors, so am looking for other opinions.

It's hard to imagine that the plates were not held together with mail.
I have only glanced at the text. Does the author consider the possibility that the plates were attached by mail? If so, why does he reject it?

The craftsmen of old had their secrets, and those secrets died with them. We are not the better for that, and neither are they.

This looks a lot like it'd be up Norman's alley.
