    Strange ww2 italian helmet. Review help


    Recommended Posts

    hello gentlemen,

     

    I got this Italian helmet from a former war veteran who lived in Brazil.

     

    It has been neatly repainted with a green/grey paint.

     

    Its leather interior is pretty weird. It's definitely not Italian. I believe it has been exchanged or was part of another country.

     

    It has a hole in the front. It is a regular and well centered hole. So it was made to fix some emblem, I believe.

    On the sides, there are marks of old shields that have been removed. It is possible to see scratch marks on the paintwork so the protections are removed.
    You can see tiny "dots" left over from the old shields. One black, one yellow and one red dot on one side. On the other side you can only see a black dot that was part of the old decal removed

     

    I appreciate the opinions.

     

    cheers
