Post by eidelon »

I am currently working on a paper for school on welded mail does any one have any links to scholarly journals on the subject?

Thanks for the help.

If you are looking for sources on historical welded mail then there is very little evidence that it existed. Most of the mail that was initially claimed to have been welded has turned out to be punched or riveted after further analysis..

at this point any scholarly journals mentioning mail would be fine just need a quote or two to work into the paper.
