most of the pictures for Nobunagas armor that you can find on google image search and so on are made up replicas.
those are different interpretations from different companies and artists.
as far as i know, there is no official Nobunaga armor. even the cape is made up.
there are only one or two armor sets that really did belong to Nobunaga but he didnt use them.
pretty much everything else is made up by manga artists, movie companies and so on.
the western looking armor pieces are also probably made up because they just wanted to show how different he was.
there are no proofs that Nobunaga wore any of those well known armor sets.
Wow.. if that's true, what's the point of getting any of these....
Still there are armors claimed to be belonged to him. Maybe as a deco piece.
How about this one? painting of his last moment..

Actually in that painting, is that suppose to be Nobunaga in the armor or is it Mitsuhide Akechi and Oda is on the right not in armor? I think it might be a painting of Honnouji when Oda was betrayed by Akechi and forced to commit suicide.
