Thank you all for the suggestions!  They have all been passed along, and a purchase has been made.

Actually, the person in question makes chainmail novelties.  The one thing I have seen is a cell phone cozy.

Are they looking to do basic butted, or something more complex like 
welded/braised or riveted?

The RingLord (IIRC www.ringlord.com) is a decent place to start, and 
googling "chainmail pattern" will give you hundreds of links.

I'm now greared up to do riveted (albiet very slowly)  All items came 
 from HomeDepot or Lowes...  it is not rocket science, just as time 
consuming though :)

If you can use a drill and a file, and have a plumbers torch, you can 
modify "normal" stuff and do not need to pay the specialist prices.

Greetings to the list.

A non-SCA friend on the train is looking for a source for chainmail 
supplies
(pre-made links etc...) and books.

Any suggestions?
