Supply of metal (iron) in the Wilderland

How would you reflect inferior quality arms and armour game? More encumbrance points and less damage/protection (and easily broken when rolling an Eye/pierced)?

This reminds me of the old Slaine RPG which had rules for iron weapons and the like. They could bend or shatter in battle or deal out less damage depending on the substance. Can't remember the specifics for each though.

What about lawn iron ore? Maybe around the lake?
