Early M.33 helmet

[ral6014]

Not often to see. I presume it´s an early type of the standard M.33, without rivets and with modified liner. Am I right? The outside painting could be new.

Backside and liner.

This is a variant of the m33 that was made for air raid protection, fire police and other civic formations.
outside paint on your helmet is new and the chinstrap has been riveted on recently.

This M.33 helmet is the 'no vents' variation. Many specimen made, but it is not
known why not issued to the regular army.PaoloM

No just a sub-standard variant, not early.

So not mix up this type of m33 with the m31 helmet!
