WW2 Imperial Japanese Army Helmet. WW2 IJA Helmet with liner and chin strap. This helmet was brought back from a long island marine vet. What is very interesting about this one is , at one point, it was a medic helmet with a red cross painted on it. I highlight the outline in the one pic.
What moat likely happened is the medic was KIA and they reissued the helmet after a quick repaint. Helmet shows combat use and patina. Leather and chinstrap are not hardened.
