Is this a fake or a original Soviet Ssh40 helmet????

Jerry and Cameron are both correct.

Unissued and probably sat in a box in the stores for years. It does happen with some items and condition is not always an indicator of age. Nice 50's lid, enjoy it.

Agreed...

Hi and welcome the helmet "3KO" was the RED OCTOBER FACTORY in STALINGRAD.This was the first postwar production in 1952 seen here since the battle,these first helmets still used rivets for the chinstraps as the later "CT" TRACTOR FACTORY versions had stitched chinstraps,very low cost but still desirible,some still wrapped in there original waffle paper having never been issued,its a lot cheaper than its WW2 counterpart,regards minnie.
