MattStone Posted May 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2016 Hello, I was originally bidding on what appeared to just be ONE Japanese helmet on ebay, and ended up winning it. I got the package yesterday and here is what was inside.... I have already read a lot of history on this guy. His hand was run over by a Japanese tank on Saipan and went onto fight on Iwo Jima (Where the helmet and uniform were captured). The Japanese helmet has mud inside of it as well as grass in the net. (There was a note inside the duffle bag of this) Only picture i have right now.. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
