I've seen nicer Type 90's but everything looks original

Much appreciated! We don't see many Japanese helmets here. I think most are certainly state side.
Any idea what the characters on the leather mean?

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

PCVANDO - are you going to purchase that helmet? I hope you do! If so, follow up with some more photos of the interior and markings. There are often surprises found inside. Note on my example that the GI or Navy man who picked it up wrote his name on the inside rear in pencil. If you magnify the photo you can see it clearly. NH

Yes sir, I purchased the helmet. I paid more than the market rate is on a decent Type 90, but this (imo) is quite nice.
I mostly collect Japanese small arms, flags, and equipment but figured it was time for a lid.
I will take nice pics and do a separate thread in the coming days
