M33 Helmet-paint color Italian Army 1934-1990

[OldSteel]

Hello everyone, as requested by Michael (MAP), I try to clarify the colors of the M33 helmets of the Italian Army.
In order not to further complicate the subject, we will talk only about the equipment for the Army units.
The color variations are really many, but below the main ones according to my experience:
A) 1934-June 1940: green/sage-semigloss
B) June 1940: all repainted in dark gray/green-matt
in these photos you can see the differences between color A (underlying layer), repainted with color B (upper layer).


C) New production and reconditioning, June 1940-September 1943: gray/green-matt


D) End of the 40s / early 50s: khaki/brown-matt


E) From the mid 50s to the early 90s: khaki/green-matt (various shades of color)


F) From 1975 to the early 90s: matt green (together with the previous variant)


I hope these info can help.

Regards
Roberto
