Great looking helmet.

 

Italian stuff has never been very common here in my area even though we are the home of the 34th Division.

 

Often under appreciated over the years the Italian stuff has become very popular now

The Railway Militia was formed 1923 and was used in peacetime as railway police and during wartime as soldiers protecting the railways. It was controlled by the Ministry of Communications. The X in the center symbolizes 10th Giuseppe Cirillo ( Naples ) Railroad Legion: Founded in June 1923 and named after the legion's first commander five times decorated for valor and died in 1924 from an illness contracted on the battlefields during the Great War . It was formed around three cohorts based in Naples , Benevento and Salerno with nine station commands, four fixed seats and a library.
