Hi Luc , thank you for the information. The seller told me that he thought it had a Western feel to it.

Thanks for the info. Do you have any idea what the trim might be made of ?

Thanks Uwe . I thought the Menpo might have been Myochin but it's not signed.

Just got a new armor. It's unsigned . There are plates with Bonji on the sleeves. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks to Nick Ricupero for selling this to me.

I bought this years ago at a gun show. I have never submitted for Shinsa . Please excuse the bad photos but if you have any thoughts about school or period I would like to hear them. I had always thought the kissaki was a little shorts ( temper is all there ) . The Hi are well made and it's healthy. It's 70 cm

Accessories for the Tanegashima

This one is painted to look like a tortoise shell. I have a tobacco holder that is made from a real one. Where I live in the US we have a lot of land turtles . When I see them trying to cross the road I pull over and give them a lift in the direction they are heading ! -
Thanks , I had planned to do that.
