Ssh 68 manufactured by Red October factory in 1983 .
And of course the USSR forces were in Afghanistan 1979 - 1989 so yes this is an Afghan period helmet but it is in mint condition and looks unissued. It certainly has never been in the "Sandpit".
I would say the "Born to kill" and peace symbol are totally spurious and clearly influenced by the posters for the Stanley Kubrick movie "Full Metal Jacket" (1987). Still a collectible helmet just remove the childish graffiti with nail polish remover.
