Ian,

the mei names a famous armour maker of the Miyochin family and is easy to identify, particularly the last kanji before the saku.

How about a picture of the helmet?

Hi Martin

 

Thank you for the interest, I acquired the armour at the beginning of the 90’s, when the Russian museums were clearing out there basements.

It took me 5 years to pluck up the courage to cut the liner. But it only confirmed my thought; I could tell it was a completely different quality to the others I had seen. The right arm was missing and the suneate. But thanks to Katchushi, it is getting there.

I will take some pictures over the next few days and post

 

Kind Regards
