Nice stand. Nicer than how I display my stuff.   Rich A. in Pa.

I get that, the star and rivets were repainted after assembly, but I like the contrast. Thanks for the comment!  Trying to photograph helmets and headgear using their nation’s flag as a backdrop. Original period rayon Hinomaru (日の丸).  Discovered Daido Steel is still in business in Nagoya and they still use the same logo (taken from their website  www.daido.co.jp). 

I have a factory made 10” UFH M1 bayonet in similar condition. How much did you pay for it if you don’t mind me asking? I got mine for a $150 on Gunbroker.

Looks nice, and the primer does add a nice element. The star should be the same color as the helmet though.    Scott

Makes me want to put together a set of that stuff. I have a pair of trousers and one mag pouch already.   

I was trying to identify these buttons and seems they're most likely British enlisted navy buttons. Found the book on Scribd and wanted to spare anyone the effort of earning a download.   

Finally got the liner and chin straps installed. Came out ok, I do like the black primer showing when the paint gets scratched off.  With flash and without.

Really nice display and not often seen.   Scott
