Hi I anticipate that I am a beginner in everything regarding samurai armour 

I might have the chance to buy this kabuto, that´s why I was looking forward to to have more information about this piece such us: period, kabuto type, estimated restoration costs,  I would apreciate also any other information that knowledgeable colleagues from this great forum can provide

I'll let the guys comment about the helmet first.

There are lots of options on restoration, from lacing to re lacquering this shikoro.

Hi Javier,
it's a 32 ken suji bachi kabuto. Might well be Myochin as the tag suggest. The shape points towards early to mid Edo period, IMHO. As Dave already mentioned, keep an eye on the restoration costs!

Edo, might be Myochin.
