WW2 Japanese Infantry Combat Helmet & Cover

A textbook Imperial Japanese Army Type 90 helmet with rare khaki camouflage cover.
Helmet has a wonderfully original factory painted steel shell over which is applied a tan coloured cotton camouflage cover. Profusely marked to the inside this is held with its original knotted drawstring although it is possible to slip off for inspection with some ease. There is an olive colored wool circle with machine sewn yellow wool star machine sewn to the front. The light brown colored leather liner is complete with drawstring still in place and held to the shell with leather band and all original helmet pins. Each of the three liner sections have original pads with one of these marked to its reverse. Canvas chin tie still present & showing heavy wear ( Please see images ).
A fabulous piece & very hard to find with the original camouflage cover.
