Japanese helmet to identificate

Got this helmet for my collection but can't identificate it. It's steel, magnetic but very light. I think it's something like civil defence.

Hello Hador, welcome to the forum, It is an unusual helmet, but I agree with you that it is a civil defence helmet.  A military helmet would always have a star to the front. It is unusual to see the four air vent holes which were a feature of the military type 90 helmets. I have never seen a civil defence helmet with these military style vent holes before.

Thanks. That's why i decided to post it here. Maybe someone will identificate it.

I'm sure someone will know exactly what it is, sometimes these things just take a little time until the right person comes along  :thumbsup:

Possibly early cold war period, certainly civil defence.
