Japanese helmet - please help with translation??

[anton67]

Hi,
Picked up this helmet tonight and I would like to know what the writing on the top says or means?
Also any other input would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Stamped one is the maker mark while other is the name of the soldier, I believe.

Thank you for your help.

So far I have been told that the white paint on the top says "Booty of War 战利品" in Chinese, so it was captured by the Chinese.

Also, the name on the liner is "Takao Sagane 嵯峨根隆雄" and he belonged to the X-numa Unit, but I cannot make out the first kanji of his unit commander's name.

Can anyone confirm this information?
Also can anyone make out the first kanji of the unit commander's name or anything else that we do not know yet from the markings?

Lastly, does anyone know what the x-numa Unit was?

I just translate word by word so you have better understanding of each word. When read that 3 Kanji together, you can say Booty of War in english.
Which kanji you can not read? Can you circle it?
