Edo period Gusoku or matched armor 
Kaga Myochin school
Sabiji Tetsu or russet iron 
Bitsu or armor box is the type that can be carried on your back

Yes, it does have a Kaga feel to it. Hope your wife approves of the new guardian for the house, Gary.

Do you have any other shots of the hitsu (Yoroi-bitsu)?

Gary, there is a useful 6 page summary of Kaga armour in Bob Benson's magazine Bushido:  Burawoy, R.  1981.The Unkai School Armourers of Kaga. Bushido, 2, 3, 26-32, Honolulu, U.S.A.

Here's a pic of armour from it.
