The particular type of armour upon which Herr von Le Coq is here commenting seems to be “scale” armour (using the word in Laufer's sense). This was, according to Herodotus, vii, 61, in use among the ancient Persians. The other variety of metal armour, chain-mail, was known in Iranian lands centuries before the Gandharan period. Cf.
