    Japanese helmet and cover translation please

    Here is my new Helmet and cover from ebay "my father was in the Royal Medical Corp stationed in Shanghai - he was captured on Christmas Day 1940 and held for 44 months in Hong Kong before being freed by US forces - all the ex prisoners of war were allowed to keep any items they could find and my father was fortunate enough to find the helmet together with a ceremonal sword and a pair of daggers - he came home by sea and an American soldier offered him a $1000 for the sword during the journey but he was not selling - I am selling he helmet as it just sits in the loft and would be better appreciated by a collector but the sword and daggers hang on a wall in my house today and will be passed on to my son"

    Can anyone translate the writing on the inside of the helmet ? thankyou Rob

                    Very nice Robb! I was wondering if you were the same Robb as GHW Robb.

                          Rob,

                          Nice helmet and cover. Lots of character but in great condition. Much nicer than it appeared on eBay.

                          Less frequently found small sized helmet and cover to boot.

                              Nice set, but, the stamp inside the cover says it was manufactured "Showa 16" on the stamp, which is "1941", but you said it was captured Dec. 1940?
