Does anyone restore liners on Soviet SSh helmets? Where to buy spare liner?

**llegion** · 03-13-2023, 01:46 AM

Hi,

I have a nice barn find wartime SSh-40 with stamps that I would like to save. Unfortunately it didn't have a liner. Does anyone know who restores these types of helmets and where to buy a spare liner?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Karlis

My advice is to look on eBay and buy one out of Ukraine. If you can identify a WW2 liner, you can find a post-war refurbished or production helmet (stamps will date from 1947-49) that will have original WW2 liners present for not too much money.

Already found, thanks. Post war 1949 repair with wartime pads. I will try to see if I can reveal the factory stamp as the whole helmet seems crudely painted over.
