Here is a shot of "Ronin48's Folly": Quite pricey, but impressive if you ask me.

I didn't pay to much for that old Arisaka, I just bought it a little bit too soon!

Does it fit well over his "Depends"? Smile

His best side, is about twice the size of that area of the armor. We might get him toasty and grease him up and see if it will fit......

Yankee, told you on" the other'' Board I could sell today and make money.
But I'm not into this "interest' for money, not a money-hungry 'Naw Yoaker' like some. With about two dozen references on the 'pre-Perry period of Japanese history, especially "the time of the country at war" (Youse do know a little early Japanese history don't youse?) and half -dozen shoulder arms - pre-Murata, the Armour is a perfict fit for my current interests.
