Thank you. Ah i see, to be honest i'm still not yet know about the origin of that type 90. I thought from the round shape rivet it's an ex IJN.
Yes, i sought kevlar helmet too. Just in case for anything. When the worst time come, i just grab the wood rifle, attach the bayonet on it and put the comfortable kevlar helmet. Voila, im ready to defend my house and pharmacy.
I once try to determine the durability of that RBR aramid helmet. I drop it from the 2nd story from my house and it's still okay. And that's why, i trust the kevlar for my self defense equipment.
To be honest, i really afraid to switch off the lamp in there during the night. My men working on the floor below witness some strange sound coming from the collection room.
Thank you again. As long as i love history, my passion to collect militaria won't gone.
