Vic,you have a IJN summer flight helmet I'm not sure of the type, that was made in October (10) in the Showa year of 19 ( 1944 ) out of the Yokosuka depot size 1 (large)

Sheep, thank you very much. It’s a beautiful helmet. I may have to add it to my collection
Nice private manufacturers label and a real plus that it appears named! Is chinstrap complete?
Sorry, auto correct got me. Shemp
Yes, if I remember correctly it was there. The helmet looked barely worn at all. When I get it, I’ll post some better photos
Very nice! Great to have a name on the label!
Did you get the cap yet? How about those photos you are going to take :-)
I am picking it up tomorrow evening. I can’t wait to get it. I will also be picking up a What I am told is a Japanese field desk. I’ll post photos of that too.
I just picked it up last night. Here are some better photos.
