I can now happily say that I have sealed the deal on this helmet. I managed to talk the seller down $25 USD, which may not be much but I suppose any amount lower is great. I will post pictures of it when it arrives. 2019 has been by far the best year for collecting helmets for me, and I finally have one of my dream items crossed off the list!
Regards, Nikita.

I too, look forward to seeing more pictures of the helmet..
It is supposed to come tomorrow. My captured early SSH-39 came in today, so I will have a lot to post!
Excellent
It just came in, but I am going to keep it outside in my garage for a few hours to air out the smell. Usually I don’t mind the smell of old helmets and whatnot, but my family said that it’s too much
Cigarette smoke?
Maybe. It is a very weird smell, perhaps it was stored in a wet place, because it smells almost like mold, although there is no mold anywhere on the helmet. Put it could very well be cigarette smoke from long ago...
Where are the photos?
