Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Excellent genuine World War I Model 1916 Italian Army "Adrian" helmet, which was produced under contract by the French. These early war contract helmets are essentially identical to the regular French M1915 Adrian helmets, however they were painted green, instead of the "Horizon Blue" that the French used. Later Italy would produce its own simplified version, which featured a welded-on comb and single piece shell, like this example.
The helmet retains the original brown paint on the interior and the exterior. The welded top comb exhibits no signs of damage or denting. There are no emblems featured on the front which was common on Spanish used helmets as well as Italian produced Adrians.
Features a wonderful complete original leather liner with wool backing behind the liner band which is characteristic of the Italian Model 1916 vs the French Model 1915. The edges of the liner are worn through in spots but all fingers are still present. Offered in overall very good condition, with complete leather chinstrap. Shell shows some minor dings, scratches and paint chips consistent with age.
