I have never seen these camo cloth covers on Soviet helmets before. can anyone tell me what pattern camouflage was used at this time?

[Glymov]

pattern Omeoba. 4 parts of cloth - german like. Its mostly used in Khasan lake conflict.

[Koba64]

Yes I think I can see the pattern in the other pictures. I have only seen the Omeoba pattern used in snipers overalls before today.

[Glymov]

Its not for snipers only. Scouts,paratroopers,sapers.

Here some old pictures from a good friends collection of a mannequin (already asked some questions regarding the camouflage tunic on another forum which concluded that its probably post war) with a camouflaged Russian helmet, only original one I personally ever handled, enjoy.

Today i saw the omeoba pattern on plasch-palatka's which was a surprise.

Thats an interesting pattern on the mannequin Pier, the figure is representing a partisan by the look of him and his MP40.

thanks for the feedback!
