Were these helmets used by the Soviets during WWII? I know it was replaced early on but did any see service?

Very much so. Early war they can be seen quite often. They were even still in use in 1945 in some units fighting in Manchuria.

Cheers, Ade.

It's a nice helmet. If it wasn't a Spanish reissue I would have been bidding more :-) Congrats.

Also Red Army troops fighting on the Karelian Front against Finns, used '41-'43 uniforms and gear during the later part of the war 1943-1944.
