I'm not sure if it is of any help, but being a college student, naturally the university and its professors spend a lot of time about making sure that sources are accurate and appropriate. I can't tell you the number of times that I've seen students get in academic trouble for citing information from wikipedia. Anyone can pretty much post anything on their, including (as my professors have mentioned) drunk college students. It isn't that reliable of a source, so I wouldn't take anything that is posted on there too seriously.

Regarding the armor, I'm not sure, but I would agree that it would depend on the quality of the iron being used and the skill of the individual blacksmith...initially I would agree with you Tarbicus about which is harder to manufacture.


Best of luck!
