I anyone else selling riveted chainmail replacement links right now? Brass will look a little funny but it will beat holes.

Icefalcon should have both the 9mm and the 6mm riveted. Historic Enterprises might have some wedge riveted.

I would HIGHLY recommend Icefalcons rings and domed rivets.
For the quality, quantity, and speed of delivery!

Ice Falcon's rings come in big, expensive batches - if you only want a few hundred rings to make repairs, I have about 2kg of leftover 6mm blackened mild steel round rings from the order I placed last fall that I would be happy to sell you for a lot cheaper.

I will recommend Icefalcon, GKS Widgets and Kult of Athena as I've had very positive experiences with all.
Everyone here knows what a stand-up armourer
Icefalcon is, but I will say it again.
Icefalcon is da bomb (service, price, communication).
GKS Widgets is simply an internet retailer of GDFB, Hanwei, Windlass other lines. Grant Skoog is local to me (St. Paul, MN) and has provided outstanding customer service during easy transactions (yes, that product is in stock and will be shipped from the warehouse tomorrow) as well as difficult requests for obscure products that did not result in a sale. He does his homework and communicates via email in a timely fashion. I will buy from him again.
I would also ask the guys at
Kult of Athena. They are a huge retailer of GDFB, Hanwei, Windlass, Albion, Arms & Armor, Del Tin, VA and many more lines. These guys not only have a brick-and-mortar store, but their own warehouse with tons of stuff in stock. They will be able to get you what you need at a great price.
I hate to sound like a salesman, but all three of these companies have done right by me and I will cheerfully recommend them. Any one of them should be able to fulfill your mail needs.

I've got packs of loose 9mm stainless steel rivets that I sell for $2.50 a pack qty of 50 (actually ~55 as I toss in extras) + shipping (~$1.00).
50 is usually more than enough for a repair. Get 4 packs and I ship for free.
