WWII WW2 Japanese type 90 helmet large complete

Description: Original large WW2 Japanese army shell with all attachments present. Please take note this is not a post war Thai or Indonesian shell with ugly holes around 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. My own highly custom pigskin pads / cowhide reproduction leather liner, not easy to come by these days.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. Has size punch marks on band. This is an honest realistic listing, not some reproduction items recreated fakes other than the good quality reproduction liners (my best pigskin/ cowhide liner) and full chinstraps (good quality reproduction) no thin jewellry hobby rings or extra large ugly shinny rings from China. The original undamaged large shell is comes with net, previous owner said it is original net. I don't know, if it is original, the net alone would be worth 500-800 alone ! I doubt very much but selling as reproduction net so you might strike gold if it turns out that it is indeed an original net from WWII Japan. free canvas cover and pillows. In summary very nice original large shell. Paint looks original but I am not expert on helmet paint, forwarned that it might not be completely original paint similar to German helmets where periodic repainting occurred, I have no idea since I don't examine paint nor care much about paint. I only care if the shell is original with all attachment intact. 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. Starting bid a bit higher because net could turn out to be an original net. Convince me it is not or it is, either way I still say it is a very nice large orginal helmet for your collection.
