Number 5, 6 and 11 are sold. Ken, almost all of the book here are in Japanese with English Index or descriptions. Only number 12 and 19 have no English at all. Curran, those are some great books. I have multiple copies of some. With others I realised that I have not used them in a long time, so it is better to sell them off and for the amount get some high quality tosogu.

Number 11 is sold

I showed it to a friend how is a conservator, he is certain that left side of this kabuto was damaged and it was repaired with paper...

strong on maebashi, very light on hachi.

Hello, Here is one of my bad purchases. I bought It just for shikoro, as I have a ko-boshi 64 plate hachi without one. But it is in such a poor condition and with added fukigaeshi that I don't think It can be used. However I am curious to know is what hachi is made off and how old it might be? Regards, Krystian

Thank you. I will add some pictures of the shikoro and inside of hachi soon.

I do not have antique one. My friend is making brass maedate so I might use one of his. Getting an original of nice quality is not easy for me... Like the one attached

Hello, I am new to katchu section of this board, as my interest in Japanese armour just started to grow. Here are few pictures of my new purchase. Kabuto and menpo were not a set, I just took pictures together because I though they look good. I wonder what are your thoughts about them? Do you think that shikoro is original to hachi? Thank you in advance for all the input. Best regards, Krystian

George, I am sorry that It happened like that. I think half of the problem was an issue with Inbox. I did not know it was full and so messages could not reach me. I post my items in many places, those that you where interested in sold on facebook. I have bough additional storage space in the forum so I do not think this problem will happen again. However as I wrote in pm you posted in a thread "I'm interested in #3, #4 and #5." and then in a pm you asked about other options of contact. I just did not get that you wanted to buy kozuka number #3. If you wrote to me that you want to buy it I would have reserved it for you till payments cleared. I talked with 4 people who were interested in it at the same time and first person who actually said he wants to buy it, reserved it and then when payment came purchased it. There are many people who are interested in an item, it does not mean thay want to buy it...

Thanks Brian, I bought the gold membership subscription. Number 1, 3, 4 and 5 are sold.

Number 3 is sold
