Soviet Firefighter Helmet Steel Fireman Helmet USSR Vintage 1950s–1970s

Original vintage Soviet firefighter helmet used by fire brigades in the USSR during the mid-20th century.

This helmet is made of stamped steel and painted in traditional green color. The front features a large Soviet fire service emblem with crossed axes and torch — a classic symbol used by Soviet fire departments.

Helmets of this type were issued to professional firefighters and used during firefighting operations in cities and industrial facilities throughout the Soviet Union from approximately the 1950s to early 1970s, before later aluminum and composite models replaced them.

The helmet retains its original shape and shows authentic signs of use and age. Inside is a blue leather liner with adjustable straps. Some wear, scratches, and paint loss are visible due to age and service history.

This is a great collectible piece for collectors of firefighting memorabilia, Soviet militaria, historical equipment, or vintage helmets.
