Can someone please try and translate the small sticker that is attached to this kabuto.

 

I know little about armour but this seems to be a recent Showa period kabuto in poor condition. Advice or opinions most welcome.

I’m on the road at moment…

 

Seems that each row starts with “号“ (model or number) followed by a number.

Uwe is right. We can clearly see row two 十三号 (No. 13) and three, 二十号 (No.20) and the top row could be a number too.

 

The sticker design is typical of Meiji/Taisho/Showa~, as is the ink pen style of writing.
