Hello gentlemen. I am a starting Italian WWII collector. I really like studying the country itself during the war, and I feel it all started with the discovery and purchase of this helmet in an antique store. However, I have 2 questions about it I have not been able to solve (and hope you might know the answer
/> ):
1- Is it a Fascist-era or Post-war helmet shell?
2- Is the paint WWII-era or Post-war? I want to say I see grey paint underneath this olive coat, but not sure if paint or simply the primer....
NOTE: The Size is a 59 and the Production Code on the rear of the helmet is P 78.
Thanks
