During the bronze age, they were made of bronze.

During the irong age, swords tended to be made of iron and armor often continued to be made of bronze, if the people using armor could afford bronze. Bronze is stronger than iron and less prone to corrosion, so it makes better armor, but iron is cheaper, and since can be made much harder than bronze it is preferable for blades.
