How old is this?

[Matsunoki]

I’m not thinking of buying this but I’d love to know how old it is. Seller says late Edo but looks much newer to my uneducated eye.

Highly decorative but is there any historic value? Apologies for my lack of knowledge…….and thanks in advance for any information. Best wishes. Colin

I would venture into Showa (or Meiji) territory but I am a complete amateur when it comes to armour…..One would need to look at the kanamono and other details. 
 

Perhaps Uwe or Luc or Andy can chime in. There are a few katchu people on this forum.

Very late revival armour - perhaps as late as Meiji or Showa as Michael has already mentioned). No historical value whatsoever, except perhaps as a reference for what some parts of old armour looked like.
