It depends we’re you draw the line between very good and top 

It’s an later Edo period “interpretation” of a medieval armor…

Well. It’s a fine set, but top is something else in my opinion.   The kabuto looks like a muromachi munehisa, which is good. The menpo is a copy of Munesuke’s or Muneakira’s work by Munetaka,  good but not brilliant. The rest of the armor is Daimyo quality, but i have seen (a lot) better than this.

The prices were top, that’s sure!
