Here is some information I can add about WWII Soviet helmet. Unfortunately I had to reduce the pic to have them at 50k. :(
You can see on one picture the different liners in the SSch-40 model. The leather liner did exist in the SSch-40 WWII model, but they are very rare to find. So my guess is that if you don't know so much WWII Soviet helmet, be suspicious if someone want to sell you one with a leather liner.
The other picture show you how to read the stamp that you should expect to have in your helmet. Sometimes again, some helmets don't have any stamps or were erased with the time.
Kim, were they helmets issued without stamps, or if they don't have stamps that is because they faded with the time. :confused:
