None of the armour in Low-Tech is based on historical prices. As noted in this thread, it is pointless trying to do that. Low-Tech prices were based on utility with Basic Set used as a baseline. If one type provided more protection than a another then it cost more. If one type weighed more than another then it cost less. If one type was easier to conceal than another then it cost more. And so on.
