I have to echoe Ian. This is a nice replica. If it was a real one, then it is better than the ones in the National musuem of Tokyo. I once bought a complete tanko, excavated according the seller. After scientific examination, we discovered that it was a 20th century museum copy. Don’t dream, it is a nice copy, nothing more.

About tentsuki, most of those Tachibana golden momonari had no tsunamoto. It must have been a question of rank.
-
Here a tentsuki maedate. This one dates from the momoyama period. Sorry for the publicity, it’s the only picture I have on my Ipad.
-
picture, yes, the kabuto is from the hand of Munehide, menpo Munesumi. An all original matching set.
-
Another typical Kaga feature is the lack of hinges. Nice dou.

Is this,the link between the magnificent 7 and the 7 samurai? ;—)

Nick, can you send me a pdf? thanks! -
Some were given to non-Japanese officials too.

Hi Tengu, these armors were often a gift from a lord to their higher officials. Certainly not for low ranking servants.

Dear Christian, Bas very recently became the new curator of the East-Asiatic Arts museum in Koln.https://www.facebook.com/189269974898070/posts/598132544011809?s=100002208069749&sfns=mo -
I think you have to date this one at the end of the 18th century Nick. But there is very little known about him.
-
That sounds interesting, converted fukigeashi...?
-
Very good question meikeru! These 2 things are very archaic, used during the Japanese middle ages by mounted archerers. The latter ones, the gyojo, were used when infantery came into play. I am sur Ian can tell us more about this.
-
Ichiguchi have a Sada hachi too. But no recorded Sadanaga. the kabuto is very likely an myochin Ichiguchi. If it is Munenaga, it is allmost a confirmation.
-
That’s a good start Nick!
-
Nick, do you have a copy of the Chappelear or the Shin katchushi meikan? Munenaga is recorded in both if I remember well. but it requirs some experience with this group to recognise them.
-
Dear Ian, i like British humor! :-)But for a person of your standing, we should say O suriage.
-
A grey zone ... Myochin stories and fabrications. But an interesting Genuine muromachi technical kabuto. The style ressembles a bit the work of Nobuie 2, but the crafmanship is inferior. I think that this guy was born before Yoshimichi. BUT nothing is sure.
