This piece is a classic Japanese Army Type 90 helmet from the World War II era, introduced in 1930 and remaining the standard protective gear of the Imperial Japanese Army until the end of the war in 1945.
The helmet is made of stamped steel with the typical brown-green factory paint and is fitted with its original leather liner consisting of three sections connected by a drawstring. The leather liner components are well preserved, along with the original fabric chinstrap. On the inside, there are Japanese kanji inscriptions — personal markings of the soldier or his unit.
The helmet comes with an original cloth cover in a sand-brown color, secured around the rim, with a camouflage rope net placed over it. On the front of the cover, the felt star insignia of the Imperial Japanese Army has been preserved.
The overall appearance is fully authentic, with clear signs of field use, which adds to the item’s historical and collector’s value.
