Greetings! I am requesting assistance in translating the kanji on the inside rim of a relic Japanese Type 90 helmet. I assume it is a name. Thank you! ~ Mike @ HelmetWerks

Yes, they are very expensive now. I restore Japanese Type 90 helmets that have been trashed by previous owners, or transformed by the Thai Army or other regional countries that used them after the war. I attempt to bring them back to original IJA or IJN wartime appearance. Take a look at my Facebook page, HelmetWerks. You will see pictures of my work. ~ Mike
