    For a real Banach space \(E\) a norm-one element \(e\) in \(E\) is said to be an isometric reflection vector if there exists a maximal subspace \(M\) of \(E\) and a linear isometry \(F:E\to E\) fixing the elements of \(M\) and satisfying \(F(e)=-e\). It is shown that each of the following conditions below implies that \(E\) is a Hilbert space: i) There exists a nonrare subset of the unit sphere of \(E\) consisting only of isometric reflection vectors; ii) There is an isometric reflection vector in \(E\), the norm of \(E\) is convex transitive, and the identity component of the group of all surjective linear isometries on \(E\) relative to the strong order topology is not reduced to the identity operator on \(E\). Turning to the complex Banach space \(X\), it is shown that for a norm one element \(e\) in \(X\), \(Ce\) is the range of a Hermitian projection on \(X\) iff \(e\) is an isometric reflection vector in the real Banach space underling \(X\). With \(S(X)\) as the unit sphere in \(X\), it is further shown that \(X\) is a Hilbert space iff the set of all elements \(e\) in \(S(X)\) such that \(Ce\) is the range of a Hermitian projection on \(X\) is not rare in \(S(X)\).
