Ssh36 and red stars ?
Hello, I have seen a lot of pictures of the Ssh36 both period and in collections . Some have no star painted on front, some have a solid red star, and some have star with a hammer and sickle inside. Since production ended in 1941 it seems a short span to have such variation. Can anyone shed some light on the production dated of the different painted star helmets ? -Thanks

Kyron.
Correct me if im wrong, but i'm guessing that maybe different factories painted their stars differently and some didn't paint them at all.
Then again, I could be wrong.

My apologies. SCW = Spanish Civil War.
Your pictures are what I have seen labeled as parade stars. I've never seen another decal like the one I posted and I know it isn't period. Just wondering if anybody else had seen one.

Ah, ok I understand now. The solid red star decal on the german helmet was placed on the german helmet so then soldiers can easily make out that a Soviet soldier is wearing it? Don’t know, it’s a very strange helmet.
