Alpine officer's colonial helmet, first half of the 20th century

A beautiful helmet for an Alpine officer during the Ethiopian campaign (1936) made of palm pith covered with white cotton canvas. It features a beautiful green roundel emblem. The helmet, made in India, bears the Vito Russo brand on the allude, an Italian emporium in Port Said, where Italian officers headed to East Africa purchased supplies. The helmet is in excellent condition, showing no signs of tampering or restoration; very beautiful.
