Italian WWII M33 steel combat helmet displaying the dual decal configuration associated with wartime Italian military issue. The helmet retains its characteristic low-profile bowl form with rolled edge construction and original liner assembly. Both surviving decals provide strong visual appeal and are thought to be associated with Mussolini’s personal guard.
Dimensions: H 6 in. x W 9.5 in. x D 10.75 in.
Pickup & Shipping: Free pickup in Gardnerville, NV. FedEx shipping within the continental U.S.: $50 + 1.5% insurance (unless waived in writing). Combined shipping available.
Condition
Retains much of its original blue-gray textured combat finish with scattered oxidation, surface wear, and age-related abrasion throughout. Both decals remain present, including the Italian tricolor shield on one side and the eagle insignia on the other, each showing moderate wear but remaining clearly visible. Interior retains its original liner and suspension system with associated wear from age and use. The leather liner remains supple overall with scattered cracking and minor losses. An inked “MA” marking and stitched “58” size designation are visible within the liner. Overall an honest wartime example with attractive decal presentation.
