002b Muromachi Suji 64 Ken Kabuto
A Rare and Magnificent Japanese Muromachi Period Samurai 62 Ken "Suji-Kabuto".
Muromachi Period 1500's 62 Ken Samurai Generals "Daimyo's" Kabuto with 4 Stage Tehen Kanamono in Silver.
Sukashi on Both fukigaeshi.
5 Lame Shikoro is from the Edo Period.
Interior liner has been restored as well as Leather Sweat Band probably around the late Edo Period as the Silk is Heavy duty weave Chirimen Silk . Chin strap is later Edo Period also.
Some of the Lacquer is Worn on Both Fukigaeshi that is commensurate with the age and wear of such a Kabuto, also one edge of the visor has worn (not immediately apparent).
Some wear to Lacquer on Shikoro is also evident .
In the Top view of the helmet the filed rivets and tehen kanemono can be seen
Maybe this 62 Ken Kabuto is signed as many of this style were and particularly so with the more elaborate Tehen-kanamono like this Silver one . It might bear a signature under the inner liner that's been restored.
