Helmet info please

[David H]

Could someone please give me an idea on date for this helmet please, I assume it is russian as opposed to another east bloc country. There are no ink stamps in it, but it has been painted again at some point, on the rear of the helmet there is a metal stamping '3 4131'

Hi David, it is a Soviet Ssh40 in size 3. That is about all I can tell you given the ink stamps have gone. The chinstrap with metal end would indicate post war made or a replacement.

Cheers, Ade.
