Uwe, if you can find the Mon I would appreciate it very much. It would be interesting to understand who owned it. Thank you

The two armor boxes that were made for this armor.
-
Complete late Edo child's armor. Kabuto is very heavy. Came with two half sized bitsu or armor boxes with matching Mon.
-
Forget the name for them but has the winged flaps that provide defense to the shoulder with no attachment cords for Sode.
-
If you tap on the image you can expand it. I'm not at home right now. Mr. Bottomley said there was a Kabuto at the Tower collection with the same Mon and they could not find it either.

Not signed.

This is an Edo period armor with Hineno style Kabuto with Tehen. This armor is not designed to have Sode , the Reed mats serve to keep rain out of the armor. There is a purse under the haidate.
-
This armor has a 32 plate Kabuto. The Do is leather covered. The armor came with a box with a scroll that is supposed to give the history but it's in grass writing so it has not been translated.

Not if your in France or Louisiana but since I'm in North Carolina it would not be possible. Could you give us a brief summary ?

No I have not read it , would you please share it with us.

This is a Edo jidai Myochin school armor. It has a 24 plate Kabuto and a decent Menpo.

Could not remember if I had ever posted other than the one Katchu. This is an Edo jidai armor with signed Kabuto and Menpo by Naguchi Zesai Trap door in Do and medicine compartments in the Kote. Mon can not be found.

A teaser .... Have you ever seen a stock like this ? It's a gun I am acquiring.
-
I have never taken it apart , the silver Kiku do not seem to want to come off and hide the pins. It naturally stands as it is shown. Parts of the understock are flat.
-
Brian I would agree with the older part ,not sure about the rest. I have a nice one coming back from Japan I look forward to sharing with you when it's OK for them to export again.
-
The Enju blade has Hi and Soe Hi , the Taima has only Hi. The Enju is on the right , I accidently loaded the Taima sword.

osuriage Tachi 68.6 cm NBTHK attribution to late Kamakura Enju school The sayagaki by Mr. Tanobe states this was discussed as being by Rai Kunitoshi at one time but due to disagreement it was given to Enju. It can be said it's still up for discussion.
