Making armour was rare, in todays terms only those who could afford a super sports car would have had a suit of armour and so the skills needed would have been way beyond the average blacksmith.
Most people in battle were peasants, If they could afford weapons they would have got them from a blacksmith
I would say armourer due to it being a specialist skill

Depends on the type of Armour and when, where.
A normal Blacksmith could knock up a suit of armour for someone, but it would be pretty poor quality unless you had a good one around.
Medieval was a large period and there was anything from straight Chainmail up to complicated Plate by the end of the 17th Century.

An armourer, what else?
Old French "armurier", later "armeurier", same meaning.
