I have also heard about problems in Russian customs when sending relics abroad but personally i never experienced any. I also had a relic helmet from Stalingrad which i have purchased from ebay.com
The seller was located in Volgograd (former Stalingrad).

Hi Chris, who was the seller?
I've purchased many pieces from Stalingrad over the years-never a problem. Horrendously slow Shipping at times, but they almost always show up eventually.

Honestly i have no idea. It was 3 years ago, before i had discovered this or wny other forum. I remember that i was a bit sceptical about the helmet because i wasn't aware that such thing as digging and relics existed. So i asked for pictures of the digging area and he had sent me some pics from trenches, destroyed buildings plus some sightseeings of Volgograd.

but is it sure from stalingrand?wish to have something from there but can not know if it real from there
I used to buy a few relic pieces from Stalingrad sellers on ebay, it was nice to see the postmarks and senders addresses were always Volgograd so that is some encouragement the pieces were from where the seller said they were.
A good way of checking the authenticity Glenn , many E Bay sellers buy relics from anywhere then claim they are from the " Sexy " Battlefields such as Stalingrad , Normandy etc etc as they know they will get more for it than for telling the truth and saying it is from a dump in Germany !!

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
