The silver inscriptions are Kasuga Myojin, Dai Jingu [Ise Grand Shrine], and Hachimangu. The dyed characters on the leather cladding of the fukigaeshi relate to the date 1351 since when they have been a standard part of armour leather design.

The Bamen group are believed to have originated in Echizen province during the Muromachi period, and to have received the name Bamen from the ruling Honda daimyo. They made armour, guns, and agricultural equipment throughout the Edo period, although inscribed pieces of armour are rare.
