Matsunoki Posted March 21, 2023 Report Posted March 21, 2023 Does anyone in the UK have a good Kabuto they could part with? I am not familiar with all the official armour terminologies so please excuse me! I would like a russet iron example, the style with the multitude of plates and standing rivets. Also a somen or mempo in russet iron. Condition must be really good and original with no (or very little) restoration. Something like the one in this link. I know it will not be cheap. I am happy to travel to meet or collect for sake of security. Payment can be however it suits you. This is a genuine enquiry. All the best. Colin

I think it’s “pot luck” with our customs. I’ve just finished a huge argument with them over 5 items from the mid Edo period. They wanted an exact date and value for each!….of course impossible to provide. Eventually I won but the hassle!!!! Also had 20% slapped on despite crystal clear shipping docs stating 19thC date. I just can’t be bothered any more. I don’t need the stress so I keep it simple now…..another great example of this country at its worst. I’m pleased that yours went well. I guess he/she didn’t give a damn what it was! All the best.Colin
