Cool, they're pretty big right...

Welcome to the WMF!

The website that was linked is a Yahoo Taiwan website listed in the local foreign currency, the New Taiwan Dollar. At its current exchange rate 1 US Dollar to NTD is 33.09. I usually estimate 500 NTD is about $15, so it is about $11-12, not $400.    Judging from the screwbacks on the back, the item dates to around the 1970s. Maybe 60s.    Not every Taiwan period item is from WWII. Most ebay sellers would list Taiwan items as WWII, but can never back the source nor change it because $$$ reasons.    See the photos below for references on how to identify. Note the two different screwcaps types on the other photo.            

This would do better on the US military forum-

What besides the chin strap differentiate a NCO visor from officers. I know sometimes the officer had bullion wreath and eagle 

Hello,   I'm not sure if this is a Type 1 patch? The patch himself should be authentic for WW2 . The Type 2 looks very similar and even with Mark Bando's guide I'm not sure. Are there perhaps a few more trained eyes here on the forum than mine.   Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for this, Its awesome to have a resource like this forum, these have been in a barrel since the mid 70s  collected in the late 60s early 70s and never did know anything about them except they looked old and Maybe military THANKS to Both responders

Welcome aboard.     Your helmet is very nice as a first piece.  The first item you got seems to hold a special place in most collections.  I know I still have the first item that I got which was a Luftwaffe breast eagle from a neighbor some 60 years ago.  

The characters are ① "光満三七二" and ② "五三".   I don't understand part of the meaning of ①. It might be the "光" unit(=IJA Fourth Army) at "満州"(=Manchuria). "三七二" means number 372.   ② "五三" means number 53.   I'm not sure about the unit, but I hope this helps.

My small collection of, cutlery, crockery & serving silver. Representing the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, RAD & standard hotel silverplate items. Anything special here.   Thank you,  Paul 

A friend found this. Hoping some kind soul can translate it please.
