Mamluk Mail

[Keraunos]

Issue 8 of Medieval World has an article on the battle of Marj Dabiq.  One of the illustrations is of a suit of Mamluk mail armour, said to be one of only 4 remaining.  Photograph attached.  I am amazed that it did not ru st away given the conditions under which it was made

Some years ago, I came across this example in the Doha Museum of Islamic Art.
