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?

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