Wartime SSh-39 Helmet?

[Aleksander P]

I saw this SSh-39 helmet for sale and was wondering if the chinstrap and liner are wartime. I've seen a similar liner previously, just in different colors, but I've never a similar chinstrap. The helmet has a wartime stamp, but could it have been modified postwar?

'Pretty sure the liner during the war was pads (3)....tho I don't have one myself.....

Early SSh-39's have liners of this sort. I was able to find these types of liners in white in wartime examples. What bothers me is the chinstrap.

post war liner and I don't think this one is Russian too, should have a liner/chin strap like mine here.

There were other types of liners for SSh-39's too. Not just the type you've posted.

Aleksander, I agree that's not an original chinstrap, the ones on these helmets weren't leather.

Probably a replacement, however the helmet deserves special attention

Alexander I hope you have bought
