Help with Helmet ID Japanese/Chinese label on Swedish shell??

[cricket]

This one has me stumped... I 'm not that knowledgeable when dealing with non US shells. This looks like a Swedish helmet with a 1957 dated Chinese? Japanese? label... Any help on what I've got would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Written in Chinese. Briefly, the tag on the bottom of the sweatband says it is Chinese military-use.

Hopefully Mr. Chen will explain more.

Thanks for the clarification regarding Chinese vs Japanese. I've searched for info using both Chinese and Japanese helmets and can't find anything on this?? I did come across Swedish helmets that use the same suspension/chinstrap system...

Can u post enlarged photo of these wordings, especially those circled by yellow?

Close up of the label under the sweatband. If possible Can you tell me what the label in the crown says as well? I appreciate all the help!

1.China military encyclopedia.
2. Staff relocation/movement section.

PS) no idea how this sticker relates to the helmet.

Thank you, any idea what the label in the crown (with the red ink stamps) say?

Thanks again for your help.

1.Parcel Inspection label
2. Package
3. Weight
4. welded cover
There are red name chops and the year/month
PS) I really do not see how these 2 labels related to the helmet. Perhaps just want to fool those to think the helmet related to Chinese something...

They are fake labels. The helmet is a recent years surplus helmet.

[oldhonda]

The helmet is neither Chinese nor Japanese. Not even North Korean or Vietnamese.

Very interesting... I actually started thinking this may be the case when Mr. Chen stated the label in the headband had to do with a military encyclopedia... this explains why I couldn't find anything on it (thanks again for interpreting Mr. Chen). I like how they went through the trouble of putting a label inside the headband... if I wasn't trying so hard to figure out what the hell it was I wouldn't have even seen it, maybe that's what they were counting on. Oldhonda do you have experience with these labels i.e. was this common or have you seen these labels on other helmets?

One final thought after reading the "parcel inspection label, package, weight etc." not that it matters much but is it possible these are some type of postal inspection or customs type labels??

So I assume this is simply a Swedish M26-65 helmet?

Thanks everyone for the help/input.

They are absolutely not China Post stamps.

One label is cut out from a book. That should tell you volumes literally.
