Baktar or Bagtar. - This is the name for body armour in general, whether it were of the cuirass (chahar-ajnah) or chain-mail (zirih) description. Steingass, 195, defines it as a cuirass, a coat of mail. See also the Dastur-id-Insha, 228. The bagtar is №58 in the Ain list (i, 112), and is shown as №47 on plate xii. From the figure it may be inferred that, in a more specific sense, baktar was the name for fish-scale armour. Bargustuwan, as Mr. H. Beveridge has pointed out to me, is a general name for armour used in the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri, text 119 (Raverty, 466 and note); but that work belongs to a period long before the accession of the Moghuls. Steingass, 178, restricts bargustuwan to horse armour worn in battle: the Ahwal-ul-Khawaqin, fol. 2183, applies it to the armour worn by elephants, and I have found it in no other late Avriter.

Scale and lamellar armors (often called jawshan in Arabic texts) were used and probably spread under different forms in the late Mamluk Sultanate. Mail armor, which is still sometimes wrongly regarded as characteristic of the medieval Western form of armor though it was widely known in the Middle East for a long time, was still used by the late Mamluks, even if it seems to have played a lesser role than in the centuries before. Mail-and-plate cuirass probably spread only from the very end of the Mamluk Sultanate.

Like other words-such as jawshan - the term qarqal sometimes also had a generic meaning (for body armor).

И в этой же статье длинная заметка про qarqal. Там несколько страниц, поэтому копировать ее сюда не буду, благо текст в свободном доступе. Диапазон значений слова - до "a padded garment worn beneath the jawshan as the Franks wear beneath their jawshans of iron" включительно.

Это еще раз к вопросу соотнесения встречающихся в источниках обозначений предметов вооружения и артефактов с помощью "популярной книжки, статьи 19-го столетия и вдохновения". "Оно не взлетит".
