    Great experience Although a bit overwhelmed by the huge amount of swords, as a "first timer" So I needed a break as I finished the first floor and took tee with Luc and Jo. Some very nice armors even were around. But like mentioned before, the dealers knew their stuff. So you had to face up with a price range from 1,4 to 8,5 million yen No bargain at all Uwe

    Rain rain rain..... :?

    Sadly right Eric Uwe

    Eric, agreeing with most of your points. But you have to admit, that the fetching prices of both armors are a bit "exceptionally". Don't you think Uwe

    Eric, I assume Jeremy used the provided pics from the seller Uwe

    Dave, as far as I know, okashi means "to loan". Rebellion swords are a different matter! Uwe

    Jeremy, it's a matter of taste which armor to prefer. Furthermore, your choice should be in accordance to your collection. The asking price seems reasonable to me (if matching "true" gusoku ) I hope there is a bit room for negotiation :D...... Uwe

    Jeremy, in my opinion there is a good chance that both suits are matching. Of course, without warranty. If it is really so, it has positive effects on the price. Fixing an amount, however, is not so easy and depends from some factors. Uwe

    Agree with Ian, there's hardly anything to add based on this small pics. As I mentioned before, nice ryûbu men! Jeremy, if you can provide better pics, maybe one can say if composite or not. Also important for giving a orientation about the value Uwe

    help on armor

    uwe replied to 1tallsword's topic in Katchu

    Hi Jer., (?) first two pics showing a tatami-gusoku (folding armor) with an interesting menpo. Maybe mid to late Edo period. Third pic depicted an etchu zunari bachi with ressei menpo. Last pic is too bad to say anything, exept, it is a suit of armor! Regards Uwe

    opinion about a kabuto

    uwe replied to Gilles's topic in Katchu

    Hi Alex, I know I only trying to say, that there are different types of kabuto with own characteristics. In case of Gilles hoshi bachi, this kind of long and slender rivets (hoshi) indeed are seldom seen! Cheers Uwe Curious about the pics Gilles

    opinion about a kabuto

    uwe replied to Gilles's topic in Katchu

    Hi all, the one at Bonhams is a "Saiga Bachi" a special type of kabuto and not to compare to the hachi Gilles posted. I agree with Eric, "koboshi bachi" (iga bachi) mid to late Edo period I guess. Uwe

    Most of the armor estimates are somewhat optimistic , particularly with regard to the additional cost (buyers premium....etc) However, out of range for me

    Hi Jeremy, late Edo-period ensemble with at least matching sangu set, momonari kabuto (like Eric already mentioned) and iyozane do. Maedate is quite nice! What exactly you want to know? Regards Uwe
  22. uwe
    Thanks Malcolm, that was new to me Uwe
  23. uwe
    Kaga for sure, but what does it mean Uwe
