European Tasset?

Thanks very the information Mr. Senefelder. Based on your information I've been able to look up complete sets of armour on the Internet and gain some greater insights into the 30 Years War.

Is much known about how organized the manufacture of armour was at the time? I'm wondering how industrialized it was. Did they make 50 sets at a time, all parts somewhat interchangeable or was each set unique? Was the manufacture controlled by the crown or could just anyone with the metal-working skills announce that they were making armour if they could gain a contract?
