Japanese Camo ww2 or post ww2 identification help

[olboy]

Hi all

I'd appreciate it have I could some more informed opinions than mine on this Japanese helmet whether it's painted post ww2 or during.

I should say ‘post’ is a pretty safe bet...

If you can get it cheap enough (peanuts), it could be a good restoration project, however.

If it was April 1st......

But alas. Total fabrication postwar

Camouflage or any other form of non-standard painting on helmets was against Japanese Army regulations, except for some very rare circumstances in which exceptions were made.

I agree, if the price is right.
