Yes you read the title correctly! A relic Italian campaign helmet. Defiantly something you don’t see every day. And with super rare items like these, there’s always fakes to confuse/excite novice collectors like myself. The helmet has a clear bullet hole going through it, id say its safe to assume the soldier wearing it met an unfortunate demise. The paint is very interesting. You can see the original Luftwaffe color, and decal peeking out from the areas where the camo rubbed off. Then we have the outer camo area. You can see the green color on top, and the mustard yellow color on the rest of it. I think more colors such as the green on top were applied to other areas of the helmet, but faded over the years. So with all that said, could I get your opinions on this relic lid? No doubt the helmet is original, but is the paint original also? I really appreciate you guys helping me.
