Edo Period Armor Set

[Jcremer24]

Anyone have any idea on how much a set like this would typically run for? Pics arent great, so I apologize. I am completely new to armor but want to have a cheaper/lower end set in my collection. Any dealers that specialize in antique armor either? Thanks all!

Hello Jason,

 

it's everytime difficult to fix a price for something in this field. Actually there is a saying...."it's worth what somebody is willing to pay..."

 

Not talking about the armor above (!!!), but you should get a presentable piece from the lower end of the scale for slightly under $5.000,-.

But be aware it depends mainly of the condition. So condition (type and other minor details) can lead to significant price diffrences!

 

Another important aspect is, of course, taste!

Listen to your gut feeling and don't buy only because it's suppostly cheap!

Hello Jason,

 

If its your first peice it might be a good idea to look at just picking up a kabuto, in the same price bracket you could get something nice and will have less problems with condition issues.
