Description
The SSH-39 helmet was in service with the Red Army, but already in 1940 it began to be replaced by the SSH-40 model. The latest stamps SSh-39 date back to 1941. Nevertheless, the helmet was used throughout the Great Patriotic War (until about 1942).The steel helmet SSh-39, in contrast to the SSh-36, was made of higher quality steel with additives of nickel and silicon. The metal was 1.9 mm thick. (the thickness of the SSh-36 metal was only 1.1 mm). From 1939 to 1940, petal-type liners were installed on the SSh-39. The most common were comforters made of black dermantine (several patterns are possible). However, white leather comforters are rare; even less often - from yellow oilcloth. Chin straps were also installed in different types: different materials and stitching. Since 1940, dome-type liners were installed on the SSh-39 (as on the SSh-36). The helmet was painted in khaki color. On the front, from 1939 to 1940, the contour of a five-pointed star with a sickle and a hammer in the middle was drawn; no star has been applied since 1940.
Steel helmet SSh-39 was found at the positions of the Red Army in 1941, in the Kiev region (Ukraine). The helmet is cleaned of rust and dirt, prepared for restoration ...
