Chinese Plum Blossom Helmet
Here's a salty survivor, a Chinese Nationalist plum blossom helmet. Thank you to Nick K for pointing me in the right direction for a proper identification. Thank you for looking.
I'm not a plum blossom type of guy, But a cool looking helmet.
It would have an interesting history considering the Chinese Nationalist connection.

A first for me. Thanks for showing. Is this the original paint or has it been repainted?
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

It has been repainted. From what little information I have found on these, they were copied from the Japanese 1922 cherry blossom helmet. I guess most examples that are found are in semi relic condition just like this one.
