Hello!
Someone I know was able to get this helmet in an auction for a pretty cheap price. I am wondering however on its authenticity so any help, advice, and opinions will be of great help. The number under the star stamp is 384, the 5 digit code seems to be 5-4445, the stamp makes me believe it's from 1948. The main thing that made me suspicious about it is the liner, while it has one of the patterns normally on a Soviet helmet, the color makes me think that this helmet is a repro. The next thing that made me suspicious was the quality of the strap.
I'm not an expert on the small details so any help and info would be appreciated, thanks!
I can post more photos if needed.
