I found this on one of online auctions, seller says that this is real Edo.
For me, helmet look strange, i have never seen such before.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Aleksandr,

 

I think I saw a similar helmet once before, but can't remember.....or my grey cells teasing me?!

Anyway, it's a simple bowl, a bit out of shape at the front (not unusual for nerigawa constructions). 3 lame leather shikoro of low quality (as the bowl itself). Ukebari and shinobi-no-o are new and parts of the lacquer seems "redone" (urushi or not). So someone certainly had his hands on this piece.

Probably a Bakumatsu thing?!

The hanbo shows some repairs and dates from the Edo period, IMHO.
