I don't bid on shells anymore.... since they are near impossible to complete.
$85 plus shipping was about right.
so it is an Army and not a Civil Defense? sometimes i find it hard to identify, they look so alike

the Army one from my other post should be arriving any day now...

The size mark you refer to is different between the IJN & IJA helmets. A stamped (into the metal) size mark would be correct for IJN. A painted size mark would be correct for IJA.
