Italian SS helmets didn't exist with tri-color decals and RSI helmets that did were not in that style. The only tricolor italian decals like the one on this helmet are the fakes they sell for a couple of bucks on ebay.
All photographic evidence that exists only show hand painted SS runes .
" If " there was a tricolor that existed on Italian SS helmet it would have been done by the Soldier by hand.
The helmets in earlier publications showing the tricolor are fakes.
That is my opinion.

My mistake; looking at the pictures here they seemed to me like hand Painted; I asked the pictures of the decals but made mistake with words: I meant shield.
If these are decals, they are fakes.
Anyway, it is interesting to see these shields ..

That is my opinion."six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".
