Description

THIS CAME OUT OF A VET HOARD WE JUST PICKED UP, WE HAVE A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL VET BROUGHT BACK JAPANESE TYPE 90 COMBAT HELMET. THIS AS YOU RECOGNIZE WAS THE STANDARD JAPANESE COMBAT HELMET OF WW2.  THE HELMET IS 1941 DATED AND HAS THE FULL LENGTH CHIN STRAPS. (OFTEN THEY WERE JUST CUT OFF THE DEAD SOLDIERS HEADS SO THE STRAPS ARE NOT COMPLETE, BUT THIS ONE IS INTACT). OF COURSE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL PAINT AND LINER AS WELL. THE PIGSKIN AND LEATHER LINER IS VERY SUPPLE AND THE BEST PART OF ALL;  THE SMALL COTTON PILLOW PADS ARE STILL IN ALL THREE POCKETS OF THE LINER.THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE ICONIC HELMETS TO HAVE IN YOUR WW2 COLLECTION AND NOT EASY TO FIND THIS NICE.
