I'll check.
I remember it was a manufaturer/trade-supplier, and that it was astonishingly expensive for what it is, but excellent quality and finish. On a par with ready-made jewelery chain.
I made a dozen chain-straps, and they turned out like this...

... which I think make a good partnering with vintage brass-trimmed sporrans.
Most commercialy available 'brass' chain-straps seem to be 'brass effect' plating, and not the solid metal - which is understandable when the raw chain is so expensive. The plating soon wears off, and the white base metal is revealed - not so with the solid brass chains.
