Tango no Sekku Armour

[Baka Gaijin]

Good morning all,

I am researching a Tango no Sekku Armour.

I'm wondering if it is pre - war.

Would anyone have a suggestion this paper label is on the Haidate:

No clue Malcolm.

My best guess would be “武久作” and maybe “平安”….

Thank you Uwe.

 

There was a maker predating Marutake Sangyo in Early Showa, based in Osaka, I was told their factory was firebombed in 1945 and they never resurfaced as makers.

 

Heian Bu Kyu Saku ?

 

Heian Bunkyu ?

 

I'll do some more digging.

That seems to be a factory/shop in Kyoto.
