I can see “Izumi no Kami Fujiwara......”
-
Agree with Grey!
-
Yep, seems so!
-
Might be "Tashiro Minamoto ?......"
-
First glance on my cellphone: “Joshu ju Saotome Ietada”.
-
.... The four sections formed by the "hagi-ita" remindes me of the "shiho jiro" type, despite the absence of shinodare. Likewise the large "tehen" seems to be a reminiscence to older helmets, from the Kamakura period for example...

Hi Nick, Seve is right! This smith dates back to the mid Edo period (approximately 1751-1764). He lived in Kôchi in Tosa province and was called "Ôe". It is said that he was a student of 27th generation "Munemasa". Hope that helps a bit!

Nakago jiri isn’t Bizen!
-
I tended to “Shigemitsu”, but that was only a rough guess. Tom use oblique light for a better shot!
-
“Showa Mitsunoto Hitsuji (Haru)” not sure about the last kanji?!
-
I agree with John!
-
A pity. I harbored a little hope it could be a village or similar....
-
Ian, I wonder if Hirata was a family name, or a name of a place of some sort?!
-
Something to keep in mind Ian. Many thanks!! Now to the Hirata “thing” ????
-
I`m afraid......
-
Guess he survived Jan.... Sorry no koboshi. But I thought Anthony has promised something (fresh from the testing grounds of his backyard).....
-
Like this Jan...
-
Done!
-
John, as far as I know Asai is a family name. I found Katsumitsu (Asai Jubei, who moved to Kanazawa), Asai Katsushige and this Asai Tomoyuki. Although I don`t know if the sources can be trusted! So we have to find the connection between Hirata and the Asai. But that is another topic!
-
Anyway, it's nice! Rare in this condition, I assume?!
-
John beaten me ..... The similarities to "Asai Tomoyuki" are obvious.
-
I'm not sure wether special "Gitsu collectors" existing out there?! I handled one or two in the past, if I can trust my remembrance (at least signed in that manner, nijimei) Will try to find some pictures.... I remember this kabuto Ian!
-
And the kabuto itself Justin? You know....pics....pics....pics ????
-
???? Better we go back to the initial kabuto and try to decipher the inscription made in shu urushi, for example ........or something else.... ????
-
Hi Justin, third column 3 kanji might be 弐. Also read as "two" or "second"! Next is (usually) the same as first column last kanji 年. I assume.....
