WW2 Soviet Air force Flying helmet

[rockethead]

Hi,

I am putting together a museum display and am looking to source a WW2 dated flying helmet. Can anybody recommend a good book and supplier? Also is there anything I should watch out for? what mark of helmet was used late war.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks for this, and yes some pics would be great please, I see a lot of post war flying helmets but no wartime ones

I have heard that anything with a wartime date is most likely a fake? original stuff was not dated? any thoughts on this anyone?
