Guys,

I have a buddy that is looking for a reasonable Japanese helm.

He has been hunting for several months, with money in his pocket, and he can't find anything.

He has been hunting for the perfect helm, but at this point, time is getting a little short.

He would very much prefer not to wear a converted helm. The direct quote is "I refuse to go onto the field looking like Sh*t".

So, if you actually have one, please let me know.

Freiman,

Give your buddy my contact info; I can do a munition Japanese at a reasonable price and turnaround, the pics are in the hard drive even now being salvaged!!!!

A starter helm type thingy? I might have just the thing. Let me know.

Try Ruthardus, His stuff is nice.

Mykaru's Jingasa is no good? If I had known I was going to do Japanese when I started, I would have snatched one up (for less than my mild steel Ironmonger bascinet!).

Actually I've only got 1 small jingasa left. They were originally meant as starter helms but overseas shipping tends to bump the price of even cheap helms.

Freiman,
I am in the shop full-time again, so when he's ready to move up have him contact me.

We can do it for you as well....

I would recommend Shamrock Armory or Black Hydra armory. Both make an excellent Japanese Helm. http://www.blackhydraarmouries.com/Base/myhome.htm

Wanna buy the last Jap helmet you will ever need?

Black Hydra armoury is the bomb.
Working with Mykaru is also the bomb.

That is all.

Dont know what size he needs.. But heres one:

I have one that I would pass on to someone for what I got it for here .

Let me see if the posting is still up. Its one with the hanging rings of hardened leather and a seperate mempo face and a bar face as well.

I bought it last year on a whim, probably never use it.

Unfortunately the pics don't work on that one anymore but I can get some when I get home.

I paid $110 with shipping and I'd take that for it.

For $110 id like to see pics

Might have to scoop it up for a loaner helm if Friemans guy isnt interested

no kidding i have a friend who is also looking for a decent japanese helm.
that would make a great gift depending on size of course

Yeah I would be interested also, after everyone else of course, I am looking for my first helm and I dont have a huge budget at the moment.

I wasn't able to get those posted last night. I will try again tonight. It does seem to be for a large head. I will also get those measurements.

The Zunari IS sold Pending Payment...
But Ido have 2 jigasa's started.....

Here's the pics

couple more

its big as well 31" around the bottom of the cone. 9" across about 10" deep.

The masks are separate from the helm and the lames are hardened leather.
