Hello Joe, everything you're saying is correct. It is an ssh39 shell that was refurbished post-war with ssh40 pads and labeled with the training stamp because of the large gap in pads at the forehead. When complete, these are cool, but they're not super-rare, so in this rough shape I would pay only a minimal amount. It's almost only a shell, and a rough one at that. Thanks for showing it. Kevin

Hello Kevin,
Thank you for your reply, much appreciated!
Good to hear my findings were correct, all thanks to the information you guys shared on this forum.
Following your answer regarding the training stamp, I've a question. Hope you don't mind.
I'm a bit confused now because the other information I've found mentioned that helmets with this stamp were not considered suitable for actual combat. So I assumed this stamp was already added after production between 1939 and 1941.
But if I understand correctly the training stamp was added after the war? So it is most likely the helmet was used during the war only with different liner etc.?
Again, many thanks!
Kind Regards Joe

Hey Joe, my belief is that the training stamp was added after the war when the refurbishment with ssh40 pads happened. As always, I welcome opposing viewpoints.
Dr. Clawson's "addendum" site doesn't really answer that question specifically, but it does have more information on the configuration.

Hello Kevin,
Again thank you for your information, very useful!
If you have recommendations about literature (websites or books) regarding the Russian Helmets, I’m eager to learn more.
Hopefully in the near future I can post a Russian helmet in a better condition then this one and would love to hear your opinion.
Kind regards Joe

Joe,
Welcome to the forum. If all your posts are as good as these first few you’ll be fine here.

Joe, Ivan Karabanov's book is the best if you want to learn more about Russian helmets. It's written in both Russian and English.

Hi,
In the past we have discussed these helmets (with Mike I think) but I do not know where is the thread ?
These helmets were restored, refurbished at LMZ in 1950, here is one in its "hybrid" configuration .

Kind Regards,
Joe
