19th c. Chinese Szechwan Lolo Leather Armor Set
It's quite hard to find lolo armor intact, so when I aquired this set it was a pleasant surprise to find only a small section of laquer flaking off. I've only seen 2 in the last 10 years. (bought them both) This suit comes with a matching arm guard. They would use it like a shield while the other hand was free with the sword. Skirt is a bit tight on one side, but easily fixed in a day with some leather conditioner.

Very fine 19th century chinese recurved composite bow.

It's quite rare to see a bow still strung. This bow is in excellent condition. 55 1/4 inches overall. Small old repair, probably a surface repair. Doesn't appear to have an effect on the strength or shape of the bow. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS.
