camouflage...? Looks rather like a second layer of paint partially removed.
I'd like to see more and bigger pictures of this, also detail shots on the camo.

my m33 helmets

IMHO good the camo helmet. The other of the 6th Bersaglieri, looks with a
larger and not of common issue stencil, so I fear a repro.PaoloM

[tankredi]

Camo helmet is no good to me.
Looks like there is an overpaint that was very carefully striped in some areas, leaving this camo effect. Liner and chinstrap have problems, too...

Second seems good to as far as paint, liner and chinstrap are concerned.
I also think that the stencil is a repro.

Mark, no need for apologies. We are not criticizing you.
We are only discussing the helmets.

Yes, ww2 era. But made of 2 pieces sewn together.
This is often seen on Italian Navy helmets.

I would like to see the serial number of this helmet + some views of the outside of the shell.

100% original?
Sure thing...

I paid 20 bucks for this back in 2009 from a local military store. its been identified as an early m33 although I still don't know what the camoflage is and so far no one has been able to identify it, also Im sorry the pictures are bad my camera was acting goofy when they were taken

tankredi why you think that my helmets are fake ? Please wrote in point what is wrong with them. I do not like if somebody wrote just this is fake and this is fake. Please wrote what is wrong with them. Next in my opinionn they are ok from the II ww. Many collectors was watched them and nobody say anything bad about them. Next I made auction on ebay with this helmets totally nobody say anything bad about them sooo why you think they are bad ? If you give me a good reason that they are bad copy I will end my auction and wrote that I am wrong they are copy OK ?
