I just received this and would appreciate a translation of the kanji inside the shell. I will post the helmet up on a separate thread once I have time to take proper photos. Thanks!
An esteemed Japanese colleague has graciously provided the translation:
Toku Yoko 96.
I presume this confirms this helmet as an SNLF helmet, as it translates to Special Yoko(suka) 96. Anyone know anything more about that designation? The helmet is battleship grey overpainted with tan. I will post pictures later.
