The shell is absolutely original, I speak only of the liner and chinstrap .

Thank you for the info. You know these lids better than I .
I'm afraid we have an original ssh39 soviet helmet here with replaced liner and chinstrap.
I actually wonder what type of helmet the liner comes from. I have never seen this 6 tongue leather liner before. Which country did you buy the helmet from? As Dom say, the chinstrap is surely postwar. Maybe you can take some pics from under the liner. Just to see the attachment. Just curious here

My mistake. I didn't pay attention to the rivets, on the helmet. SSh-39 style for sure.
I'm not sure about shell. It's unusual form of digit in the hallmark stamp.
No definitely a war time shell, rivets are completely wrong for a postwar helmet. As for the liner, it could very well be a fake and I wouldn't be to surprised.
