Original Italian WWII Anti-Aircraft Artillery North African Campaign M1928 Tropical Sun Pith Helmet with Cockade Badge Featured Item The underside of the lidOriginal Item: Only One available. This is an excellent example of an Italian model 1928 tropical sun helmet (first version pre WW2) with an Italian Anti Aircraft badge over a paper cockade. 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,
