I think I'll try to contact him and ask him directly toshed more light on

I disagree.  Those look smaller than Lego chain links to me based on the
size of his thumbnail as a guide.

I count five cross-bars in a length of chain about as wide as his • thumbnail
- that's exactly how many fit across my thumbnail.

Also, if you blow up the image and boost the gamma so you can see into
the darker regions, you can just about see that the links connect in the
same way that Lego links do.
