Italy, Kingdom. An M33 Steel Helmet, Owner-Attributed, with Net Heer. A Flak/Artillery Hauptmann’s Service Tunic on thick Luftwaffe grey woolA very well preserved Italian M33 helmet, constructed of a magnetic molybdenum steel shell which retains much of its original wartime dark green paint. Three rivets are distributed around the outer circumference, securing the interior fixtures in place, with hollow channels to provide ventilation. Wrapped around the helmet is an original slate grey cotton net, providing camouflage and facilitating the addition of vegetation to blend into surroundings
