Original Imperial Japanese Army WWII Type 90 Last Ditch Helmet with Painted Kanji Under Rim - Liner & Chinstrap
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very rare Type 90 Civil defense last ditch helmet, complete with an intact woven fabric & oilcloth liner. The Japanese WWII Civil Defense helmet was the final of four variations of the Type 90 Army helmet and was designed specifically for mainland civil defense. This example has two large Kanji characters painted under the rim, with more period paint covering them, a good research project.
Overall condition is very good with correct brown paint, with some minor oxidation on the exterior. There is some overall scuffing, but no dents or any major damage. On the underside of the brim is the painted number 61 which is also covered by more paint.
The liner shows wear but is still solid. The chinstrap ties are intact but crude.
This is an excellent opportunity to pick up a WWII issue type 90 civil defense helmet, a necessity for any Japanese WWII headgear collection.
