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
anyway here's a couple of shots of my early post war one for comparison!
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.
