Great looking helmets!

Is there a good source for WW2 used Soviet helmets? I can't seem to find anything other than cold war issue

Even in Russia it is difficult to find SSH-40, used during WW2, in original condition and with all the ink stamps. In 1948, the vast majority of the SSH-40 helmets of the Red Army went to the factory repair Lysvensky Steel Plant (LMZ). Some rare instances are found in the warehouses of the Civil Defense, or in small rural fire departments. Also rare, but caught SSH-40 in an acceptable state of the collector during excavations on the WW2 battlefields.
