I am bring this old thread back to life again fella's because, I wanted to hopefully jog some menories on this thread. I recently came across a chained ss. Being some what fimilar to daggers. I didn't have a big intrest in different types of chains out there on daggers. Until I read this thread I have learned a lot from this site. Anyway my intrest on X and I, II type chains has sparked some additional thought on who made these chains. I looked closer at their over construction and wanting more info on the chains. I did find anything on makers of these chains. I didn't see anything that was discussed in previous threads. Has anyone done any reasearched on how many companies made these type of chains? Were these independent from the dagger companies? Were the chain blanks rough stamped the hand finished. Were these skilled labors. Thanks for your help in advance
