Original WWII Italian M33 Helmet with Artillery Stencil - Full Liner & Partial Chinstrap
In stock
-
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 great example of an M33 helmet with a lovely hand-painted Artillery stencil to the front. The exterior shows heavy oxidation overtaking the paint, with similar oxidation to the interior. The liner is in good shape overall, but only half of the wartime leather chinstrap is retained. The liner is perforated 60 for the size, quite large.
The rear brim is stamped P-109. The liner has the correct Z-stitching but most of it is gone. There is some tearing to the liner as shown but the drawstring is retained.
A very nice example of the Italian M33 helmet from WWII, ready to display!
