i have seen those full samurai body armor in the shops and i have been interested in collecting them.
However i have seen prices range from AU$2000 to AU$10,000
is there a guide i can follow so i know i ain't getting ripped off?
i don't know how much they are worth
can anyone help me out?
well, both are good but as the real deal will be overly expensive and rare, the replica will be a better option.
replica's are still quite expensive right?
how can i tell what type of armor it is?
is there site that can help me?
what type of armor is this one?
I'm afraid I don't hold much interest in Japanese armor, and can't really help you there. At age 20, it seems like a pretty frivolous expense, but if you can afford it more power to you.
it is a big expense, but it would keep its value or at least rise i think.
This is why i am looking for the bargins. But have nothing to compare it to.
I watch a photograph and consider this to be a copy of an armor of the Muromachi era first half year from the Heian era.
Form of a helmet and form of a trunk armor,
I think that it is not an armor of the sengoku times.
Now an armor producing seems to do 1600000 yen from 260000 yen.

Because cloth is new, I think when made recently.

well, i was confused from the photo but i managed to purchase a samurai doll, (which is the above photo), not an armour suit at an auction . It stands 1m tall and i got it for AUD$220
