Hi everyone,
i recently brought my 1st Russian item ( hat pin ) into my young WW2 collection and now added a stalshlyem i would like to share with you and hear your opinions on, thanks for having a look.
At first i thought the metal end of the chinstrap was cut of at some point but i just read it was not always attached but simply sown aswell.
Right side unfortunatly has some corrosion damage but overall the "nitrokraska" paint held out ok.
Inside has a bit of nasty corrosion aswell but the liner is in a reasonable state i think.
Manufacterers stamp indicating a size 2A (=58), produced by the the Lysva metal plant in 1941 ( http://www.world-war-helmets.com was a great source of info while reasearching this piece ).
Hope you enjoyed this salty veteran, in my region Russian militaria comes by rarely so i am very happy to have been able to add this to my collection. Don't know if it is a global problem for people interested in Russian ww2 items but is seems rather strange to me since it was such a huge army.
Kind regards, Olivier.
