I don’t know anything about Japanese armor but right now, these two helmets are at a very low bid and I may toss my hat into the ring. Is there anything I need to know? Only picture on their site.

Nothing really, Noah. One the left is a jingasa and likely original.  (Be careful of fiberglass copies.) Oh, and it's not a kabuto.

 

On the right is what looks like a repro kabuto and menpo set.

As said above, keep away!

The jingasa might be real (condition?), but the mon (family crest) seems like recently painted on it!
