Japanese WWII Type 90 Steel Combat Helmet

995,00

Original WWII Japanese Type 90 combat helmet, which was used from 1930 to 1945 by soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army. The helmet shell shows some signs of oxidation. In places, the underlayers of bluish paint are visible beneath the brush-applied paint.

The army star is fixed to the front part; it also serves as a rivet. On the rear inner rim of the hull, the kanji 少is stamped into the steel and painted white over it, indicating that it is a small size. Next to it, we can see the Kobe Seiko arsenal logo stamped in the steel (an S in a diamond) as well as a partially visible number.

The kanji indicating the size is also present on the leather band of the headdress. The leather helmet is in good condition. It has canvas compartments containing padding (one of the compartments is now empty) . One of them bears a Japanese army stamp indicating the production date of Showa 15 (1940).

The canvas chin strap is complete
