Genuine Japanese Army Helmet?

[cwjian90]

Would any members here be able to tell me if this Japanese Army helmet is genuine?

It is a real Japanese helmet, but I think it is a restoration. New paint, replaced liner and chinstrap. The liner and chin strap could be period but new to the helmet.

I think the possibilty of a "reworked" reproduction could be considered too.Certainly a newer paint job,though.The draw string for the liner and even the condition of the liner itself are a bit obvious.

the shell looks in very good condition ,does it have a jap size symbol stamped under the rear peak similar to the painted symbol ? the chin strap looks reproduction and also the liner looks to good to be true but hey you never know , nice helmet all the same james
