Full suit of armor.....needs a new home!

Recommended Posts

Greetings to everyone in NMB land.....How about a little pre-Dai Token Ichi action?

 

On offer is a full suit of armor...in pretty good overall condition.

 

The kabuto has a 32 plate iron bowl with the liner intact......possibly signed if previous owner is to be trusted.....however, priced as mumei. The mon on the fukigaeshi is katabami mon (three leafed clover). Reference material list pages of families that used this mon. This clover grew wildly throughout Japan and was considered very resilient.  The clan heads that adopted it held the belief that their clans would flourish just like the attractive clover.

 

Maedate is an oni but not of historic vintage.....looks to be a contemporary creation....but well-done in a devilish manner......

 

Menpo is lacking a mustache ......either deterioration or a change of fashion.....a close shave.

 

Overall lacing of the Dou is good although there are a few broken threads....lacquer condition is pretty good overall with minimal losses...

 

The sode are oversize offering maximum coverage and protection in case you wish to engage in a duel....

 

The kote display several kamon and demonstrate quality construction....

 

Comes with a single armor box displaying a katabami mon within a circle.

 

Interested parties can mail me directly at keichodo@yahoo.com.....everyone else can comment and pass judgement directly on this thread...as usual!

 

Price is USD $11,000 ...not including shipping....

 

Best,

 

Robert Hughes
