That armor is a particular Edo period weirdness... I would place that style around 1760. That kind of fish-scale look seemed to have its hey-day from about 1700-1800.
Interestingly this is one of the better ones I have seen, at least in the general profile it does have decent proportions to pre-1600 armors. The kabuto, mempo, kote, haidate, tsunate are all common and fine. Those kind of scales on the do, sode, and kusazuri just was not done pre-1600.

Still looks cool. I wonder if the shikoro is also done in the "scales"
