<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 9425680, member: 84&quot;]This came into my friend&#039;s thrift shop a couple of days ago - I saw the bag coming off the truck &amp; my first thought was a bowling bowl; boy was I glad I was wrong!</p><p>Opening it &amp; glancing in, I immediately said &quot;I&#039;ll take it&quot;</p><p>Inside there was a almost complete (except for 1 glove) Japanese samurai(?) or kendo(?) set! I thought it was for practice protection, but now am wondering if it might be a custom armor set because every piece has the same tag stitched onto it - it looks like a letter Y inside a letter H, with Japanese characters around it.</p><p>Plus, the chest plate(?) has some gold painted embellishments on it and is signed(?) in 3 different places on the inside (left side, right side &amp; dead center). I haven&#039;t been able to find another with anythng painted on the front.</p><p>What does the writing say on the 3 places of the chest plate?</p><p>What company has the Y inside a H logo and made this?</p><p>Finally, any idea how old this set is?</p><p><br /></p><p>As always I appreciate your help - I immediately thought of you guys when I found this!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]433928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433929[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433931[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]433932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433933[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]433937[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
