it looks to be a Soviet Ssh40. however the Date and manufacturer markings on these helmets were all done with ink stamps and sadly the majority have been painted over during post-war refurbishment making it all but impossible to identify most of the war period examples. other than that im not sure about yours, thats just what it appears to be seeing as it looks to have 6 rivets

This is an Ssh40 helmet and it is a combat helmet. However the vast majority of helmets, especially in such good condition as this, are post war manufactured or refurbished. 50's helmets have a different chinstrap to 40's ones (stiched rather than rivetted, really the only obvious difference) and all chin straps are not designed to be removed. The fact that this one has been removed immediatley makes me suspicious its a 50's helmet and someone has tried to disguise that fact. There should be a date stamp at the inside rear of the helmet but I wouldnt be surprised if its been scrubbed out. The value of postwar helmets is rather low if you are thinking of buying this one.
