    Seppa intergrated in the fuchi is a no go here. 100 % newly made.

    If the tsuka can be dismanteld from sword with out removing the sarute and barrel, its a fake!

    The seppa near the habaki, has always a smaller hole for the lockclip than the other seppas.

    Just got this from a fleamarket. Its been hanging for many years in a danish castle. Couldnt go away from it, the motif was so appeling. Its a combination of cloisonnē and urushi, Jiki Shippo ( Tree bark). There isnt any cloisonnē on the back only lacquer. Its from early Meiji period.

    This armor has been facinating me and 6 months ago I decided to make one for the Sakura Festival 2017 in Copenhagen. I know You guys only want the real stuff, but this armor is so unlike and give it life and see peoples reaction was gold worth. Hope You like.
