Type 90 IJA Helmet 3D emblems

[Nole dad]

Looking to purchase a type 90 imperial Japanese army helmet, but I’ve never seen 3-D stars on helmets before. I’ve been told that these were used early on in World War II and as the war progressed and material availability diminished, flat stars were used. Does anyone have any information? Thanks

Not for the type 90 as issued, only the flat stars, the same rings true for the earlier cherry blossom and star vent helmets.   Scott

Thanks— just beginning. Not much information that I can find. Lots to learn
