Italian / Serbian Helmet

[Fabe]

hah! another old thread of mine!
I never got this helmet, but I belive it's still available! (still 8000 HUN Ft. = 26 EU)
Seems, noone wants it for that price...I've been getting a lot of WW2 German field gear stuff lately, so I kind of holding back on the cold war stuff...

Hey Guys,

Any thoughts on this or can confirm this?

According to seller, an original pre 1940, M33 Italian shell - which were refurbished in the 1980s and sold to Serbia...

Markings:
BUSSO ARSIZIO 21052 (ITALIA) SUGHERIFICIO GIA CASSONI
and on the shell:
M 108

Asking price is 26 EU...

THX,
Fabe

hi fabe im sorry i missed this thread ,it looks to be a post war carabinieri (military police)m33 to me

I just recieved one of these helmets, with the serbian sticker on the front. Sadly the chinstrap is destroyed at the front, so it fits my 59 head, but the sticker says 56, so a bit disappointing.
Anyway, I am glad I found this thread as I was very curious about what it actually was, thanks for all the information.

Shame your disappointed Angus and i wonder if it could be returned for one in better condition ? ,Sounds very much like a former yugoslav m33 police unit example i have in the collection
