Original Russian K6-3 Titanium Helmet with Visor
Up for sale is an authentic, original K6-3 titanium helmet, heavily sought after by collectors of Russian special forces (MVD/FSB) gear. This item has clear signs of combat history and presents an excellent display piece.
Key Features & Historical Markings:
- Authentic Battlefield History: The side of the helmet shell features a hand-written owner's callsign "ДОК" (Cyrillic for "DOC" / Doctor). This strongly indicates the helmet was originally issued to and used by a combat medic or field doctor.
- Serial Numbers: The serial number stamped on the helmet shell (dome) and the serial number on the visor do not match, which is very common for field-issued and reassembled gear.
Condition Details (Please read carefully before bidding):
- Visor Mechanism: The visor successfully locks in the upper (raised) position, but it will drop down under sudden movement or a sharp jolt. In the lower position, the curved locking tab does not engage or click onto the retention pin to keep the visor secured (please see photos for reference).
- Helmet Shell: There are several visible impact marks, scratches, and dents on the helmet dome, showing real-world use.
- Chin Cup: One of the side loops/arms on the rubberized chin cup is broken (see photos).
- Paintwork: The paint is chipped and flaking off in places on both the helmet shell and the visor.
Additional Information:
- Size: Standard adjustable (fits up to head size 59-60 cm).
- Comms: Non-radio version.
- Shipping: Will be securely packed and shipped with a tracking number.
