Description
Rare Japanese type 90 Navy helmet with its original first pattern navy helmet cover. Textbook second pattern with brass anchor and its original liner and chinstrap. The cover has some corrosion staining which also shows on the helmet shell at the exact same places. The helmet and its cover have little wear, stains or damages but the patina is clear that the helmet and the shell have always been together. The helmet is a large size made by Kobe Steel. Very hard to upgrade example, impossible to find cover!This helmet was a part of the late Nick Komiya collection who was a very knowledgeable Japanese collector who wrote many interesting articles onWarrelicsand Wehrmacht Awards forum. The item sold here is a part of his virtual legacy of articles and is a part of thispost. A nice and rare example from a well known and curated collection!
