SSh-40 Steel Helmet, Lysva Metallurgical Plant, Wartime Repaint
Original Soviet SSh-40 steel helmet, likely produced in 1940 at the Lysva Metallurgical Plant. Fitted with a beige leather liner and its original chinstrap. The helmet features a wartime repaint in BO-4 paint, with light and unobtrusive traces of rust that appear more like natural patina.
The internal maker stamps are not visible due to overpainting. Overall, the helmet is in excellent and visually appealing condition, making it a rare and historically valuable piece. A less commonly encountered variation of the SSh-40, especially in such preserved form — a perfect addition to any WWII Soviet gear collection.
