Butted mail was used for cavalry armours in India in the 19th century.

Is butted mail Historical?

The only historical use of butted mail I know of personally was by the Japanese from around the 14th to 16th centuries. Although they appear to have had a fair amount of European influence (especially with the 16th century 4-in-1 pattern mail) they didn't seem to adapt riveting.

When was butted mail invented?

Chain mail (often just mail or sometimes chainmail) is a type of armour consisting of small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh. It was generally in common military use between the 3rd century BC and the 16th century AD in Europe, and longer in Asia and North Africa.
