Original Item: Only One Available. The M33 Helmet (Elmetto Mod. 33 in Italian) is a steel combat helmet designed in the 1930s in Italy, and was the standard combat helmet of the Regio Esercito up to World War II, and of the Esercito Italiano well into the Cold War. Designed by Nicola Leszl for the Mussolini Government, these have become extremely hard to find on the collectors market today, especially WWII examples that have not been refurbished.
This is a very interesting lightweight variation of the Italian M33 helmet, meant for parade wear. It is not protective in the same way as a normal M33, and is likely made from aluminum. The shell was painted black with a yellow MVSN militia stencil to the front. The three rounded rivets are meant to resemble the ventilation holes, but they are not holes on this variant.
The liner is a black felt variation and is very lightweight. The chinstrap is leather and is also much more lightweight than the norm.
A great M33 Parade helmet, the first we have ever offered! Ready for display.
