The Iron Rust Twelve-Section Helm from the Edo period represents a significant piece of Japanese historical armor, notable for its intricate design and family crest.

Collectors value such artifacts not only for their craftsmanship but also for their cultural significance, particularly given Japan's rich samurai heritage.

Despite some wear, original Edo period pieces remain rarer than modern reproductions, which typically flood the market, making this helmet a particularly compelling find for serious collectors.

With a current bid of ¥330,000, this item reflects the consistent demand for authentic historical artifacts within Japan's collector landscape.
