Ssh-40... Interesting and comical fake

[Wesley's Dad]

All,

Spotted this "Ssh-40" on ebay today. A rather humorous one I will add. Ignoring the camouflage over paint, this helmet is a Hungarian postwar helmet (look at the chinstrap ring). On the inside is found an interesting stamp. It is the stylized LMZ "spider" stamp with a 1943 date. However in this instance because the helmet is not even Soviet, the stamp is 100% fake and not the modified 1948 stamp often found in postwar Soviet Ssh40.
