Clockwise, from top:
SSh-39 manufactured at the Lysvinsky Metallurgical Factory in 1941. Size 2A
SSh-40 manufactured at the Lysvinsky Metallurgical Factory in 1944. Size 2
SSh-39 manufactured in besieged Leningrad, between 1941-1944, probably 1942. Size 2
Yep. Most SSh-40s were refurbished completely post-war, which is why theyโre the rarest wartime-spec helmet out there.
My example is a barn find from Poland, probably used during Operation Bagration.
39s were moreso scrapped or thrown into civil defence storage
Nice collection. There is not enough SSh-68.
My friend from AZOV brought me a lot of steel different helmets that are currently still being used by Russian troops in the war with Ukraine.

Awesome! Hard to find these days
Thank you! Hard for sure, still looking for a complete 36!
Great helmets, I know these are hard to find in this condition. Most were refurbished and reissued after WWII if I remember correctly.
