Tengu1957 Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 72 plate heavy Kabuto Edo period Thought to be Ichiguchi Myochin work Not sure if signed Would be interested in comments , the Tehen is a bit further back than normal and there is a noticeable bulge at the front. It's an usual number of plates. A period Mai Date. Many thanks to Nick Ricupero for selling this to me. 9 1 1 1 Quote
Luc T Posted August 17 Report Posted August 17 Hi Gary, the shape is in the direction of the Ichiguchi, but I miss some important features to be convinced. Onthe other hand I see a lot of Gitsu influence, even the 72 plates, the shiten no byo, the mabezashi and haraidate. nice find! 1 Quote

uwe Posted August 18 Report Posted August 18 Hi Gary, guess I agree with Luc! Interesting helmet. Can you try an endoscope checking for a signature? Quote
Iekatsu Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 I agree with the others, a nice looking kabuto overall. 1 Quote
Shogun8 Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 Also agree with Luc and the others - very nice, robust kabuto. However, it is missing a few key Ichiguchi features. 1 Quote
