This is our best japanese samurai armor that we currently have in stock, for the following reasons: the Helmet is signed Munehisa saku, which is a listed Myochin samurai helmet maker from Tenmon Period, about 1532. The Tehen kanamono, the 62 plates, the gold lacquer mons, all seem to be of very top quality to me. The giant gold maedate is very old, bigger and better than any one of this kind that I have ever seen before and is worth over $3,500+ since it is quite rare and quite real and quite nice. This armor is #122 and is $18,000.
This armor needs a little bit of relacing as it is so old but if you will let me do it for free; I will have it done by the best skilled craftsman in Tokyo whom I know well. PHOTOS HERE

I just like this armor. Why? Well, the Japanese Samurai Helmet is powerful strong solid iron with no lacquer of any kind on it. Being an old Samurai Sword Dealer, that means I am
a lover of strong samurai sword steel --- and this is it. It just seems very martial to me, and reminds me of swords --- the color is wonderful meaning that it has taken on an excellent deep black since the steel is so good. It is made for fighting. The Tehen Kanamono at top is excellent, not showy, just a deep Shakudo black alloy of 5 rings. Nice!
Price is USD $12,500 and yes we still accept U.S. dollars. This Samurai Suit of Armor is #188 ..... Many photos of this Samurai Armor Here !!!

This early Suit of Armor is for Momoyama Era (1573 to 1615) fighting priests.
The Maedate on the helmet repeats the chant of
"Namu Myoho Renge Kyo", and there are Buddhist Beads slung over the Dou (chest).
The helmet is very old and has crossed feathers for a mon on its Fukugaeshi
The arms (Kote) have great chain mail and large robust plates design as seen above
This Samurai Armor is #184 and is SOLD PHOTOS HERE

Gold and Black Eboshi Kabuto, Big gold Shishi for the Maedate, gold Tare hanging down below the Mempo; wonderful gold shoulder guards (Sode)

What you see in the photos are great big silver studs for extra strength all over the old iron chest (Dou), both front and back, as seen in the photos.
Lots of good quality Kozane work throughout and the helmet is nice too. Wonderful sleeves with large deep iron work on the decorations which also protect the wearer.
This Japanese Armor is #139 and is USD $9,800 --- Many more photos of this Suit of Samurai Armor HERE !

This armor is not so old --- perhaps 40 years or so. But the shoulder guards make it an O-Yoroi and the helmet I thought was very nice with huge red Shikoro
I need to get it up higher in the air to take a better picture of it, but it's quite heavy and I haven't had time yet.
Anyway, it's USD $5,600 and its inventory number is Japanese Samurai Armor #125. A number of good Photos are HERE !!!

This armor has a watered steel 62 plate helmet that is of very nice quality --- and is SIGNED and DATED.
The date is Tenmon 2 meaning the year 1533. The signature is Tomonobu with a Kakihan - not a famous maker but I think he did a good job.
The Tehen Kanamono (on top of the Kabuto) is flat, and iron, and almost of a piece with the ridges of the Kabuto: a true armor maker's design, rarely seen.
I would guess that this gives it more power and protection than the other Shakudo and Copper and Gold ones usually see.
Wonderful gold mons on the Fukugaeshi turnbacks, nice Iyozane style throughout,
You can see from the photos of the inside of the helmet bowl (Hachi) that this armor has a great helmet. Samurai Armor #155, price is SOLD PHOTOS HERE !!!

Edo Period Black and Blue Full Kozane Samurai Armor (circa 1780 to 1830) with rare Christian Gold Maedate ...
This is inventory number 190 and the price is SOLD
I like this armour - very reasonable price for a great Kozane suit ...
a serious suit worn by Edo period Samurai, I date it to about the year 1750- note that there is some wear visible, as you would expect.
Here you see three of our Ninja Armor inventory ... and you can see more at www.ninja-armor.com .
This armor has great Kote (arms) with BONJI (buddhist sanscrit symbols) on the hands and a unique X pattern of iron above ... the Dou needs relacing in several places
and the low price is because you yourself need to do a little work ... Inventory #164 and the price is USD $5,500. PHOTOS are HERE !!!
