    Greetings all,
    Just thought you might be interested in my Leningrad siege helmet.
    I have always loved the wildly uneven circumference of these helmets, which give a clear hint of the emergency conditions and haste under which they were produced.
    The lining has to be one of the worst designs in history, but without the luxury of time and available materials, it had to suffice.. and was the least of their worries.
    All in all, a remarkable record of history.

    Thank you so much for all your kind comments, Gentlemen.
    I’ve had this helmet for around 30 years (give or take), and it’s always been one of my most treasured items.

    All the very best and stay healthy,
    Bob
