→8.2 Mail Shirts and Metal Armour
::VIII) Mail shirts may be decorated with no more than two rows of bronze rings at their edges.
::IX) Any mail armour that is constructed from Galvanised or zinc coated steel rings should have the zinc layer removed, at least partially (if some is removed, eventually the zinc will be stripped off in the course of use).
{{Special Mention Box|Officer=Master at Arms|Title=Important Note:
|Caption=Over the years the quality of riveted mail has improved considerably however, with regards to safety, the most important consideration is the riveting. Poor quality riveted mail can result in a garment with sharp edges and protuberances that may be considered unsafe for the battlefield. In such a case, the armour will be banned from the field.}}
:4. Angevin Knights
:Those portraying knights will be expected to have a full complement of late 12th century or early 13th century kit, including a sword and soft kit. Mixing and matching earlier period items will not be acceptable for a knight. Mail coifs may be acceptable if concealed by a surcoat and other conical helm patterns are also acceptable.
:5. Scale and lamellar
:These forms of armour, whilst known, were undoubtedly rare in Northern Europe throughout Regia’s period of interest. These items may however be used at some shows given the show’s dateline and contexts but because of their scarcity they will be judged solely on their individual merit.
