Original Italian WWII North African Campaign Officers’ Tropical Sun Pith Helmet with Early Officer Insignia French Antique Guns The 71st New York InfantryOriginal Item: Only One available. This is an excellent example of an Italian tropical sun helmet (pre WW2) with Italian Officers badge. Overall a hard to find display helmet of an item used during the North African campaign by an Italian officer who most probably came under the command of Rommel's Afrika Korps. This example is offered in excellent condition, complete with metal helmet plate, correct wire vents, chinstrap (broken), and complete liner.
