Original Italian WWII North African Campaign M1928 Tropical Sun Pith Helmet with Plume and Goggles Snider Rifle with a lot of tarnishedOriginal Item: Only One available. This is a very nice Model 1928 which has been paired with an original pair of German issue goggles with elastic strap (still soft with stretch), and a new made Bersaglieri plum. Overall a wonderful display piece of an item used in the North African campaign! Condition is very good considering the age and fragile nature of these helmets. The exterior shows signs of honest wear and storage wear. One vent is missing
