Doubt written in WWII - Imperial Japanese Army M-90 Steel Helmet

[GGranha]

Hi gentlemen!
This is my WWII - Imperial Japanese Army M-90 Steel Helmet.
I would like some help to translate what is written (in Japanese) in my helmet.
Sorry about my bad english.
Many thanks for your help and regards from Brazil,
Gustavo

タ。小西
Ta. Konishi

Konishi is a surname. I have no idea what the "Ta." means -- it could be the first syllable of his given name, but when written in Japanese the surname always (mostly?) preceds the given name. Perhaps another reader knows better.
