Luc T Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 If I count well, it has 25 koboshi per row. Thus it could be Saotome, but the mabezashi points in the direction of Haruta. Certainly edo, I guess second part 17th 1 Quote
Tengu1957 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Report Posted February 27, 2023 Luc, Thanks for the information. You are right about the 25 koboshi per row, I miscounted. Its pretty heavy. Quote
Chishiki Posted February 27, 2023 Report Posted February 27, 2023 Hi Gary, nice helmet. You can buy an endoscope from ebay fairly cheap. You can put the camera in through the tehen. Have a look at the construction and you may see a mei. Mark 1 Quote
