WWII WW2 Japanese type 90 helmet complete rare small size

Description: Original small WW2 Japanese army shell with all attachments present. It is a very nice rare small size with a nice Patina and only a bit of traces of dark green paint left in the front.Please take note this is not a post war Thai or Indonesian shell with ugly holes drilled around the shell. Good quality reproduction chinstraps with slightly aged correct gauge steel rings not thin hobby craft shiny rings or the ugly thin Fanny fabric stores not canvas strip (arrow patterned fabric) used here. The rear strip of chinstrap is original came with the small shell so is the other dark rusted ring. My own custom leather pads reproduction leather liner from old cowhide sheets to match this nice steel patina shell helmet very old. Liner has a 1941 issue ink stamp, silk ties, exact liner cloth, exact draw string and cloth pillows with real cotton not modern day polyester cotton used. The original small shell is very good condition shell I have on hand from my own many years of collection. It seems to be from late war period judging from the very old and dirty condition the shell. The original rear strap of chinstrap is very oily dirty fabric...makeshift chinstraps only one left ? The original chinstraps was just a very dirty old heavy cotton chord I will include in the auction if I can find it. The steel star and steel pins are good quality reproduction items imported from China. You could repaint them if you like to match the rest of the original patina paint of the helmet. No need to waste money computer scanned the originlal paint. The sale (if the offer is right) would come with my expert help on any questions related to Japanese helmets which I still love and collect. For example how to match the original paint where to buy the paint etc. etc. plus any help on future restorations.
