Renowned Japanese collector/dealer Eric Doody shows off a fantastic late war Japanese Type 90 steel helmet. This is one of the finest examples of this pattern of Japanese helmet seen at any show in recent memory.

A selection of American, French and even Dutch helmets was for sale from Advanced Guard Militaria.

Advanced Guard Militaria had on display the large Japanese naval flag (back) as well as this oversized American serviceman flag. Sadly the two gold stars denote that both soldiers (like brothers) were killed in the line of duty.
