Oh yeah, it's definitely overpriced. I agree on that. No liner or anything either it's just a shell. A nice one though. Great camo paintjob. But, like I said that dent looks interesting like maybe a small shrapnel ricochet?

I guess the owner/seller will be buried with it or will end up in the estate sale after the owner/seller passes 

Looks like it's priced to stay where it is for a long time.

Very neat postcard to English/American.   Would like to know what the Japanese writings say, thanks.     

Nice lid but, WOW!! They are REALLY proud of it. 

I came across this helmet at an antique store I frequent. A dealer had this helmet for sale. Aside from the camo paintjob and big shell size, He didn't advertise this fact  it looked to me like it had a unique, possible battle damage(?) dent in the shell. Different from a typical ding/debt from rough handing you see on some helmets. I'm curious what members here think?

Great pieces.  Rich A. in Pa.

Somebody on USMF posted a pic of a similar tin that's WW2 Japanese. Kinda hoping it's Japanese now ...
