Hopefully this shouldn't be too hard.

First two photos appears to be a name. 4 characters. My wife thinks the first is water or wood and the third might be Peace but not sure.

Any help?

Second photo appears to be 3632 but the second 3 is a bit different, so maybe 36 - 22?

Will post photos of the whole ensemble once the weather improves. It's a beautiful NLF helmet with 2nd pattern cover.

Thanks!

Michael

Again, please remember that what you call the first is actually the last, and it is water. It says Seaman Sasahira 笹平二(等）水(兵）. It is marked as a navy helmet, but there is nothing to identify it as NLF.

Thanks Nick for the help. Once weather improves I will take photos of the whole helmet. Exterior is olive drab/Brown and it has the 2nd pattern padded camo cover.
