Thanks to all who have provided a lot of food for thought. I continue to be curious because I recently had a real wakeup with an issue of two Japanese swords I have had for years. The short sword I...

There is no provenance but this helmet does have the initials WD inside the rear skirt near the liner. I believe this to be the initials of a German soldier/owner since these initials do not match...
