Soviet Liner?

[Shadwellarmy]

Hi Friends,

I've just found a supposedly japanese helmet shell but with a liner that looks like the russian wwII. I would be delighted if anyone could help me on this one.









Cheers!

Hi Mads,

These Japanese civilian/ last ditch military helmets have MANY different types of liners... I am not saying yours is authentic, but it very well could be. The chin strap looks good, so that makes me feel good about the liner, too.

While a bit similar, this is not a Soviet liner.

Cheers, Ade.

Definitely japanese civil defense, as Joe said there are hundreds of variations of these helmets

Thanks for answers, it went for more than 200 euros on auction (and I didnt buy it).

Oh gosh! I think I picked up my Japanese civil defense/ last ditch military helmet for like $50...
