Hi Jer., (?) first two pics showing a tatami-gusoku (folding armor) with an interesting menpo. Maybe mid to late Edo period. Third pic depicted an etchu zunari bachi with ressei menpo. Last pic is too bad to say anything, exept, it is a suit of armor! Regards Uwe

Magnus, where are you situated? There is a guy near Brilon doing quite nice work. Uwe

I will be Saturday and Sunday there -
Hi Alex, I know I only trying to say, that there are different types of kabuto with own characteristics. In case of Gilles hoshi bachi, this kind of long and slender rivets (hoshi) indeed are seldom seen! Cheers Uwe Curious about the pics Gilles
-
...looks like the kuwagata dai was later added. Gilles, can you provide some more pics? Uwe
-
Hi all, the one at Bonhams is a "Saiga Bachi" a special type of kabuto and not to compare to the hachi Gilles posted. I agree with Eric, "koboshi bachi" (iga bachi) mid to late Edo period I guess. Uwe
-
Most of the armor estimates are somewhat optimistic , particularly with regard to the additional cost (buyers premium....etc) However, out of range for me
-
Hi Jeremy, late Edo-period ensemble with at least matching sangu set, momonari kabuto (like Eric already mentioned) and iyozane do. Maedate is quite nice! What exactly you want to know? Regards Uwe
-
Thanks Malcolm, that was new to me Uwe

Kaga for sure, but what does it mean Uwe

Any thoughts about this koshirae?

Howard, The maedate looks great, only the background doesn't fit the scene :lol: Uwe

Hmmm, it's astonishing. I checked some of my books and found almost all numbers of plates, except of 56. (i.e. 4,6,8,12,16,18,26,28,32,34,38,40,42,48,52,62,64,72,120,124 and 140) Nevertheless, I'm convinced, that the number of plates of a kabuto, has nothing to do with school or age Uwe

Yep.....

Any thoughts about this koshirae?
uwe replied to mas4t0's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Like Travis mentioned hard to tell, but close to what a toppei goshirae look alike. Therefore late Edo (maybe late 19th century). Nice indeed Uwe -
Agree with Justin, "tetsu shu urushi nuri ressei men" with "kiritsuke kozane kebiki odoshi tare". Standard "Nara-Type" I guess! Regards Uwe

Nothing left to say...

Thanks Ian for confirming the date. I thought I was wrong, because the first kanji was hard to read. Ed, I think this is a typical piece to part with! But no worry, I will send you my shipping address Uwe
-
Hi Luc, you sure with the date. How do you read it :? Uwe
-
Very nice work of art from the edo period Thanks for sharing Ed. Uwe PS: Looks like Genroku 16 (1703)

Germany.....one point Quite a good start for an tosogu-novice Thanks Uwe

Nevertheless, a piece of history. :| Uwe

Not my subject, but very interesting. Will try to learn....... Uwe

kaeshizuno and udenuki ana relation in satsuma?
uwe replied to doomsdaymachine's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Hi Jussi, yes I`ve heard that the wont of the satsuma guys was a funky fighting and drawing technique :lol: The question is, was udenuki fastened through the kurigata to prevent the sword accidentally slipping out of the saya, or tying it around the wrist to avoid loosing it in battle (fencing)? Cheers Uwe -
The "lines" are very sharp and crisp on this kozuka. Very elaborate work, the pic can't judge. Yoshioka...... Thanks Pete Uwe PS: Actually I'm not familiar with kodogu
