    Russian Model Ssh40 steel helmet with original three pad liner & web chin strap, the shell has been repainted in a Naval grey for use aboard ships during Battle stations by Anti Aircraft gunners & loaders and other crew members aboard Russian navy ships.

    the helmet & rifle are from the 1950's Cold War era

    The Soviet Ssh40 has been in use for over 70 years, and has had a very long service life, many were exported to other countries and were used in numerous conflicts to this day.

      very nice example ,i take it the liner pads etc would be completely removed before painting or would it be done in the factory before issue ? its paint scheme reminds me of the soviet /czech reissue ssh40's ,thanks for sharing

      Yes, it looks like the liner was removed before painting, there is also an anchor stamped inside in black ink, I would say the Russian Navy did the repaint.
