Japanese antique Museum Quality Military fireman Hanten SET Coat Helmet Pouch - $4,200 - (Athol, ID)
This is a stunning museum quality Japanese military hanten set, probably the only set you will ever see. I lived in Japan for 6 years and just to find an antique hanten or fireman's coat was exeedingly rare. When I laid my eyes on this complete set I knew I had to have it. The set consists of the thick military fireman's coat with rank insignia on the sleeve, the corresponding thin liner worn inside which has the same rank indicated, see photos, a military style helmet with insignia and flaps that go down around the neck to protect from the flames, and a never before seen pouch for carrying? Who knows what. There are real burn marks, there are small sewn repairs, this was purchased from a seaside town so you can see the verdigris corrosion on the metal parts of the helmet. If only this suit could talk, what stories would it tell?? It belongs in a museum . Message me if you would like to see more photos of this amazing set. Free shipping in the continental US.
