WW2 Russian Battle Damaged SSh40 Helmet

A battle damaged Russian SSh 40 combat helmet this being the 1940 pattern superseding the 1939 model.
This helmet has received a blast fracture to its crown but remains in very good condition with its typical wartime green. It is complete with its three pad liner system & also the totally correct web chinstrap arrangement secured with rivet studs . Liner pads are of the distinctive oilcloth material with natural felt strips to the reverse. All pads are still padded. Tightening cord still present. Faint ink markings to rim underside. On the front is painted the red star of Soviet Russia , this was only ever applied at regimental level & not at the factory so can vary greatly.
Overall an untouched & rare helmet of the Russian army & a very hard piece to find now.
