I can shed a little light here. As I recall, a few years back, someone on this list saw these plates up for sale on eBay. I sent a note about them to my local SCA list, as an example of what people used to think folks wore in the middle ages. At that point, Carol (webmistress of Dragonbear) saved the files for posterity and put them on her webpages. Someone with more time than I have today (sorry) could search the H-Cost archives and find out more, if we ever knew more, about which edition.
