    II would lake help with translating the kanji of the helmet Many Thanks in advance Steve
  2. Swords
    Hi meant to asked what the translation for the inside lip of the helmet says Thanks so much Steve
  3. Swords
    I did look at the liner and it passed the blue light so it original Also the rivets that hold it in place are original not messed with Reason it’s not leather is because Materials were short and it was cheaper or easier to use cloth rather than leather I also ran it by a dealer I know and said it all good The netting is also original which is a nice addition So thanks for everyone’s help Steve

    I did check the liner with my black light and did not glow Also Why would someone put an original liner in the helmet ? The front rivet looks a little large but did the Japanese use rivets that were all the same specifications? If anyone can chime in on this it would help Steve
  5. Swords
    I believe that rivet is supposed to be there and not all liners were leather I remember seeing one a dealer friend of mine had one like it But I can’t remember if it was one like mine Are you familiar with these NFL helmets? steve
  6. Swords
    You’re talking about the rivet where the anchor is located?
  7. Swords
    That sounds logical I doubt a general would be wearing this helmet although it would be nice

    Thanks Brian I miss-red that one ! Sorry Moriyama Koichi If the 2nd translation is General Umezu. as Brian pointed out what’s the Yoneoka team unless they are both the same person or Yoneoka team has some meaning 米岡隊 - Yoneoka team 梅津 - Umezu
  9. Swords
    Thanks so much It nice knowing what it says I’m guessing MORIYAMA Koichi is his name do you know what this is about 米岡隊 - Yoneoka team 梅津 - Umezu Thanks again

    Sorry for the late response Good feed back I believe your right about Komonjo I hear bad things Hopefully others won’t Make the mistake and buy from him

    Just a guess maybe a special order sword since he says peace and tranquility for the whole world And long-lasting good luck in war A nice chiseled script would be nice to see the entire sword
