Japanese pith/sun helmet

Hi guys, need some assistance on the following helmet. Very large size, looks to be unissued. Would like opinions on originality.....real or fake. Thanks a million.

Hi Visor-san,

It's a nice original piece, a beauty!

Dated 1943.

Cheers!

Nice Sun Helmet Visor.

Taka-San knows his stuff. Here are two other posts (one is mine for a helmet I just purchased a few weeks ago) that should provide some additional information.

Alain,

Yours is a beaut as well. In fact, looks better than mine. The one I have has some small stains (which I kinda like).

Yours has a much better look in my opinion. I try to get salty japanese items, and mint german items. I do prefer issued, been there look....like yours.
