Hi All,

I have had this helmet for years. It is a Japanese helmet with what apprears to be a US M1 style liner webbing. Can anyone help with the history on this item?

I imagine it was converted after the war during occupation. Your thoughts?


Thanks, Blademan

Blade, your correct it's a post war helmet. Probally used in Japan BUT many other Asian countries used modified, captured Japanese helmets.
