I think you have got yourself a bargain. What you have is an Italian M16 Lippman helmet. Nice to see one with the original liner and the insignia on the front is a real bonus.
This is a good site for more information. World War Helmets - Casque Modele 16

Good question, at a guess I would say heavy artillery. Hopefully someone better educated will see this.

See here for badge - World War Helmets - Insignes peints modele 34 - anti-aircraft artillery, from what I can make out from the photograph.

That does appear to be the closest, but the helmet doesn't seem to have the flags like ion the picture?
