Imperial Japanese WWII Helmet with Kanji characters and a single number (2) on the inside of the helmet. Unknown which branch and/or unit it was assigned to. The liner has mostly deteriorated, and has only some mesh left.
Some patches of rust and heavy wear throughout the helmet, but still in decent condition. The pictures are part of the description, so please examine them carefully. Note: The Japanese Naval Landing Forces emblem on the front of the helmet is a newer piece, and is NOT indicative of this belonging to that Japanese naval branch; it came with the helmet when I bought it many years ago, and that's where it stayed.It will be included with the helmet, and the new owner can determine if it's appropriate to keep it in-place.
