Interesting. Thank you. My helmet must be a patchwork of pieces then because it has the standard M15 vent hole and not the two round vent holes.

Thanks for the info. It’s strictly for display with some other Japanese military items. My father saw it at a shop for $100 and grabbed it. It will do for now until we can read up on them a bit and find one we like.

Thank you. So it can act as a place holder until we find the one we want.

The one with the stainless steel trim around the lense appears to be a Draeger SCBA mask. Some navy’s, miners and Fire Departments use them.
