Post those Italian M-33s

[Paolo Marzetti]

Here two examples of original masks for the Italian stencils for the M.33s, so
you can understand how it can be easy for a cheater to 'produce' badges on
the M.33s. The only defense for the buyer is to make an careful examination on the type of paints used:if there's nitro inside the paint, that's not an original badge. PaoloM

These stencils are original but for the postwar insignias.
Most of the postwar insignias are similar but not the same of the mod. 33 insignias.
All the insignias with "points" around the grenade are postwar and, usually, in the grenade there isn't the number of the regiment.

[Paolo Marzetti]

It is true,but they were only examples of masks used for applying the stencils.
Never said these were WWII insignias, in fact the trouble for the collectors, you know, is not in the post WWII M.33s, but in the stencils made on those
of the WWII period.Would you like to open a diatribe? PaoloM

I don't like diatribes.........but somebody have written:

Who don't know the differences between the war and postwar insignias could think that they are explanatory examples of WWII insignia stencils. Maybe somebody should have specifid it. Or not?!?!

If this is a diatribe, I don't mind! Be sure!If you're trying to demonstrate something, let me know clearly, maybe I can help you,and please read carefully what I've written, without giving a different sense to my phrase without any motivation.
I've never said these are WWII stencils but only original masks for M.33 stencils.And these they are,you perfectly know.
The matter is not in the fact that who doesn't know the differences between war & postwar insignias maybe confused by what I've posted, in fact I simply
posted two original masks, just to let understand how these artifacts were
applied and used to make the stencils ! Are these disturbing you?
Later we'll deal also in the war-time insignias, all if possible in a table, but
time to time ! PaoloM

I amn't trying to demonstrate something and I don't need your help......
What I have written it's very simple, if you talk about "M.33 stencils", somebody should think that you have shown stencils for the war time helmets, because the mod. 33 helmet is only the war time helmet, not the post war helmet.
You haven't written that the stencils shown are for postwar insignias and that they are similar to the wartime ones.
I have specified it.

Is it clear ?!?!?

OK thanks. You're not trying to demonstrate anything.We don't need each other help.Thanks for your clear specifications.Regards, PaoloM

A great rare M.33 of the Regia Guardia Albanese: original M.16 chin-strap
applied on that. Bye, PaoloM

We've dealt with this in this thread:

but I think important to add the C.A.I. helmet in this database:
Ciao PaoloM
