I find the stamp a little suspicious along with the fitting of the chinstraps.
It's the two-tone green; could be concealing the scrubbing of an old one, or has it just been wiped with water?
The markings (including the star) look quite fresh too.
Maybe a refurb with re-applied markings?
IMO - no patina and stamp not pre-45 vintage.
Thank you guys i did learn some New stuff to day need a soviet helmet for my Finnish display
Kemi, wait for more replies. It is best to have consensus to help you make your decision.
Original stamp

Imo the stamp in the first post is tampered with. You can clearly see where another stamp has been removed and a new one is stamped on top - see different shades of green.
David, I should have been more clear - I meant the star on the front. Feeling embarrassed
The first thing that "popped out" was the stamp. Then the chinstrap looking dubious. No need to be embarrassed. Think you hit it head on

I agree with everyone else that this is fake as it looks to new. To me it looks like Czech helmet with replaced liner (I could be wrong however) or a purposely aged reproduction. However if the price is right it could still be a good buy for your display if it is a good price.
