M33 Shell Sizes

[jmaurer]

I'm trying to learn as much as I can on wartime Italian helmets, and the one thing missing from the on-line resources I've found is any mention of the sizes of the helmet shell. Was the M33 similar to German helmets in that a range of liner sizes were intended for a specific-sized shell?

Thanks!

What about the tropical pith helmet/casco coloniale - did it have a similar
sizing system?

[Paolo Marzetti]

Almost surely it is the same sizing system, but I've no official dates.The matter
needs a deep search on the official documents of the end of the 20'.
Bye, PaoloM
