shibeni Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Hello, I kindly ask you for assistance on reading the inscription on my 16 ken suji Kabuto (second picture) and Dou (last picture). They are look quite the same for non trening eye. Writing on kabuto is very hard to see and it is done with red colour. Thank you for helping. Bojan S. Quote
george trotter Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Hi Bojan, The Dou is ju yon (10 and 4) = 14 The red lacquer on the kabuto looks the same...I have seen numbers like this on kabuto etc before...maybe it is an inventory number (storekeeper's number)? Regards, George. Quote
IanB Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Bojan, You also get similar numbers on all the parts of one armour, so that the pieces don't get mixed up. In this case I am surprised because the helmet looks a high quality item and unlikely to be in an arsenal. Ian Bottomley Quote
