This auction is for the full suit of early EDO (around 1650/1750) armour. And also comes with a late EDO period kimono undergarment which has a family mon on it, as shown in pictures.
The armour is for its age in good condition although it shows signs of wear and tear including a few scratches and tears to the lacing, the chain mail on the arms has a few rust spots which is bound to happen considering the age of the armour and was also probably used in combat.
The mempo is of the rattan clan and also has the same mon either side of the kabuto, which you can see in the pictures. This is the genuine article and would be a great piece to anyones collection.
Unfortunatly i do not have the storage box for the armour, also the manaquin shown in the pictures is not for sale.
