Recommended Posts

I will start off the Japanese helmet section of this great new forum with an Army Type-90 that I have had in my collection for nearly 20 years with very slight wear. I am not an expert on Japanese helmets, but will relay what I have been able to research. If any other information can be given by those with knowledge, or corrections please feel free to comment.

Marked in the crown with paint. I was told that this was the surname "Kido" for past owner.

Can remember as a kid we would play army and run around the houses wearing

bring backs from veteran!

 

Those were the days! Neighbor had Japanese head gear.grenade belt and US stuff and in the garage had a wagon

to hold everything!
