Just wanted a little confirmation this is a legit WW2 Italian M-33 helmet. I believe the shell is good. The liner is barely being held in and is loose. Replacement liner? It gives me pause. Picked it up in a mixed lot so the price really didn't matter. Thanks.

The liner isn't correct for an M33 and the vents have been replaced with solid rivets to hold the liner. This is most likely a Finnish re-issue.

Does this one have the right vents? Waiting on shots of the inside.

From that photo it looks like a Bulgarian M51/72, photos of the liner will tell for sure. The two helmets look very similar.
