M15 Italian anti aircraft helmet?

09-18-2011, 11:12 AM

Hi all, here is a helmet i picked up yesterday and was wondering what the insignia was for. The helmet had an overpaint with griogioverde paint but had this stencil painted underneath with the Savoia coat of arms inside a triangle. The cross is faded out somewhat but can be seen by the naked eye. From my limited research all i could guesstimate was anti aircraft insignia.

I like this one. nice and complete.
