Authentic samurai gear for sale
Outside of Ikegami Baien, a guy was selling samurai wear from the Edo Period. The prices weren’t cheap, but you can only find reproductions for reasonable prices. This stuff was the real deal including helmets, swords, and the crests of various clans formed into metal sword guards. The latter is the most reasonably priced, and I saw them on several occasions in Japan. I may pick one up someday if I can find one for the Takeda Shingen clan.
