Looking at the size of the cord around the armour at waist level I wouldnt be surprised if the whole thing were about 12 inches high. The shipping is 90 US while for most armours from Japan it is 3 or 400 because of the size and weight!

 

Nuts - some poor soul will buy it - I have a 70 dollar Tsuba from China I will sell for 10 and 60 dollars shipping.

And check out the sword...

 

It looks like an image somebody took in a museum (from the look of the case, is this the National

Museum in Tokyo?).
