Saw this one several days ago and it looks good to me; however, I have had bad luck with Type 90s in the past. The patina of the paint and the rust like color in the interior seem to be good signs. The chinstrap and liner also look good to me. The seller states that the liner is "very stiff", which is also a good sign of age. He does say that he believes the liner and chinstrap to be reproductions/replacements, perhaps because of their good condition? However, they seem to me to match the rest of the helmet. There are a few concerns I have. First, I am worried that the paint might be post war, as was true with the last Japanese helmet I bought. Second, the bottom of the liner seems suspiciously clean. Is that due to the camera flash? I am a novice when it comes to these so any help would be much appreciated!
