    Hello mateys

    I have a question regarding this SSh40 soviet helmet. I'm not much of a connaisseur in russian stuff but from what I know STAVKA used to mark all era helmets with a black star stamped in the interior.

    What about its liner ? Appears to be unissued as a whole.

    Thank you

    I'm sorry, disregard that if you saw it.

    Looks unissued to me, too.
    195?

    Its an original un-issued postwar helmet, and it does look like a 1950's date. They are quiet often found in this condition, I have one myself.

    Hi douglas. How does one from WW2 look like compared to this or how do the stamps differ ?

    Very late war helmets are nearly identical to this. Firstly the chinstrap is different, wartime ones tend to be whiteish or khaki. At some point in the early 50s the chinstraps changed from being rivetted at the ends, (by the helmets chinstrap loops) to being stitched. I cant tell from the pictures which your is, but it looks stitched. Also the date stamp is partially legible and you can see the top of the 5 for a 1950's date. I have drawn it in here so you can see it. Its a nice helmet.

    With this mark, these helmets are manufactured between 1954 and 1960
