Ref: 12B - Antique Menpo Edo Period (江戸時代) 1603-1868.
A nice untouched example here in unrestored condition. This example dates from the Edo Period - 江戸時代 (1603-1868) and is of robust from and excellent quality.
Unlike so many being offered on militaria websites and other platforms this is a genuine example in untouched/ unrestored condition. There are many modern made (post 1950's) examples currently being offered by individuals claiming that they are Edo pieces so please be careful. Most being offered are brand new and currently being produced in Japan. We at Armoury Antiques and Militaria like to leave items untouched and only if completely necessary or on the request of clients have items 'conserved' by the best craftsman in Japan that we know.
This Menpo would complete an armour or enhance that Kabuto you may have in your collection.
