1945 Ssh40

    To me, this is a nice example from 1945, listed on eBay. However, listing says chinstrap is original, but it doesn’t look undyed white to me, looks postwar, plus it’s missing the buckle and loop. Can I get some other opinions on that chinstrap to make sure I’m right that it’s postwar? Thanks. Kevin

    Perhaps a complete pic from the inside?

    Just so I'm corrected isn't it a 43 model?

    Take this with a grain of salt, but I've never seen a complete wartime Soviet helmet on eBay that was original, Unless it was a relic, But I've even seen postwar rusty helmets being sold as ww2 helmets. You can probably get lucky sometimes, But I'd rather drop a hefty sum with a more trustable dealer. If it is original though that is great and I hope you can snatch it!

    I have doubts on the liner and it seems postwar to me. Therefor a complete pic from the inside would help.

    And I agree with Spenwil73 regarding ebay helmets.

    Thanks everyone, yes there’s not a good interior picture in the listing, I’ll contact the seller and see if I can get a couple and post them here. Kevin

    Kevin ,

    With the exception of the exterior paint it is an original helmet to me
    Ssh 40 produced in 45 are few.

    Thanks Dom, I had my doubts about the chinstrap but I always respect your expertise. I made an offer on it, we’ll see how it goes.
