Thank you both for the help with translation.I see many of these different emblems for schools and factories on Civil Defense helmets.Some appear to be period installed, others added just to dress the item up.My question is was there any protocol instituted by the government to assist the civilian organizations (Schools,Factory's etc.) in the procurement of helmets for use in the civilian sector,or was it just a free for all to get these helmets from any source you wanted to if you felt like having one? say for example "The owner wishes everyone to wear one while at work?"I have an example of a German Luftschutz helmet with a decal that states the highest price that can be paid for the helmet when purchased and was wondering if Civil Defense helmets were regulated in the same way in Japan? Regards,Geoff

In the wake of the National Mobilization Law I referred to in the medals article, the government imposed a price freeze on certain items as of 18th Sept. 1939 by introducing the Price Control Law. By 1942 12,000 items came under this regulation and had paper tags marked with a circle with Kanji inside denoting the control grade of the item. Civil defense items likely came under this control as well.

Nice one!,The chinstraps appear to be that really loosely woven light weight material with a very "Fluffy" feel to it. It seems to have more information on the inside than most you see, so I am interested to hear what our experts say... perhaps will include the area where it was used? Regards,Geoff

You shouldn't force labels onto things when you have no idea. Wrong labels only hamper the emergence of the truth and even after the truth does emerge, it takes forever to undo the mistake. We should not repeat the mistakes they made with the Chinese Collaborator Medal, etc. In comparison, "unknown" is an honest and easily detachable label.
