Hi Alain, Apart from the patina, what I see is a Myochin edo hanbo. Chin, Yadome..
-
According the mei and nengo, this is a first generation Nobuie. Nobuie 1 started in 1504 (the first known nengo). Nobuie 2 started in 1532. An elegant helmet. It would be good to see the different angles.
-
And yes, N°9 is almost printed! this will be a top edition!
-
Ienari, my first Saotome was one! Splendid smith.
-
This depends on many many things
-
Both are fine kabuto. What do you want to restore?
-
The last pic is a koboshi Iechika. Iechika: 1630~1730. Indeed several generations, but no further info is available since the Saotome records are destroyed in a fire
-
The signature is good. There are no Saotome earlier than edo.
-
This looks like a very good Ietada, tho other one is a Ienari I suppose?
-
The menpo of Uwe’s picture is added later to this armor.
-
Hard to say… it looks young. Late edo, showa, gendai.who is going to tell us?

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!
-
Yes, this is the work from East (or North) Japan, Tohoku region.

Hello Meghan, this is a Saotome Ietada shiinari kabuto. I am almost sure it is signed at the rear plate inside the kabuto. The tehen no kanamono seems to be added later. nice mid edo kabuto.
