Re: Another Ssh-40
Hi,
I watched the stamp and apart from the delicacy of this stamp, I like this marking well.
There are similarities in the markings of the years 39-40 and 41 and similarities with the markings of 44-45 ... it looks really marked transition.
I think that marking and helmet are authentic.
Regards.

Re: Another Ssh-40
I might add that the liner material is not the typical "shiney" stuff seen in mass produced postwar helmets of the 1950's. It is in the similar, but finer textured pattern seen on some Ssh-39 head bands as well as on the pads of early postwar Ssh-40.

Re: Another Ssh-40
Hello, I see you are still at it. Very good. I see this answers my question to you if any SSch40 war time helmet had the metal termination on strap. The pads and felt in your helmet are exactly like 2 of my pads in my mystery "helmet", that seems to kind of got this ball (thread) rolling.
I do not know though, you guys have probably been debating this for quite a while before.
Let me ask you, how many factories make these SSch40 helmets during WW2? Which factory is the one you are showing with the period after the r?

Re: Another Ssh-40
Steve,
All the stamps shown are from the Lysma facility, same that marked LMZ prior to 1942. Anything with the Cyrillic "L" same as Greek Lambda is the Lysma facility. At this time of the war, Lysma was the by and large the priciple maker of steel helmets for the RKKA. There may have been other small makers (often have no stamps) and there was a remanufacture operation in Leningrad that Dimas speaks of.
The Red October factory (3KO) in Stalingrad did not seem to convert to Ssh-40 before the famous battle there, but later many Ssh-40 were made in Stalingrad after the war. They are marked (CA).
The period in the stamp I show may be of zero importance... just a different stamp
