Good Morning, Friends...
I've come across this Italian Helmet and would like to hear your thoughts & opinions...Is this a WWII-Era Helmet?
Thanks for your input!
cheers, Glenn

I always look for the horizontal stitches on the liner seam and rectangular bails. Both are good signs. But with Italian helmets, it's always a crap shoot as the wartime lids were worn well after the war with sometimes upgrading being done and sometimes not.

Hello to all,
the picture details are not very clear, but I do not think of making a mistake; I think this is a Bulgarian helmet M72, a copy of 'Italian M33 but made with poor quality materials.
