I would say it is Indian in style, the arm guards look like dastana (the Indian version of bazu band), the helmet as well looks like an Indian "top" with the sliding nose guard having a old style of catch, and except for the edging on the dastana there seems to be no decorations on any of the armors, no engravings etc. The char aina does not seem to have any way to attach a cloth lining, as in small holes or attachments for sewing a lining to the armor, add to this the fact that the mail is not riveted and there are none of the usual embellishments I would say that this armor is a lower quality armor meant for the tourist or replica sales market.

When I found this armor, it was completely rusted (see inside the helmet, and yet I cleaned it) there was inside the helmet, char aina, and the arm protection of tissue remains, which were stuck, I have could not preserved these remains to be able to cleaned the armor and the protected, the tissue was completely loose.in my opinion I think more armor of quality child medium...
