The helmet is apparently a SSh-39 manufactured in 1940 by LMZ (Lysva).
Based on the texts in the helmet, the helmet could be a war trophy of a Finnish (Swedish) soldier.
The text on the 3rd photo is difficult to read, but the text on photo 4 and 5 represent rivers in Karelia. Namely the rivers Jandeba (Yandaba) and Syväri (Svir)
In the period between 1941 and 1944, heavy fighting took place around these rivers between Finland and the Soviet Union (Continuation War).
21/10 1941 could be the date the helmet was captured.
