Dean clements Posted December 2, 2019 at 10:16 AM Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 at 10:16 AM firstly a big hello I’m dean and this is my first post here , recently a friend sent me this WW2 helmet, the marine served in WW2 and freed some Chinese from the Japanese in WW2. his helmet carries some Chinese writing I believe, any help translating this would be most helpful. I hope it’s his name in Chinese thanks in advance yours Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 5, 2019 at 01:31 AM Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 at 01:31 AM Does look Chinese but I can only make out one character for certain (和) and another likely, so hesitating to make a translation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomsima Posted December 9, 2019 at 03:01 AM Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 at 03:01 AM Not really, you need to take individual pictures of each character, as some are so faded its pretty much impossible to tell when they are always at a curved angle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted December 9, 2019 at 08:02 AM Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 at 08:02 AM You also need to play around with the lighting. It looks like you're using a flash, and that can tend to wash out colours. Natural shaded sunlight is best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
