An original World War II-era helmet.

Soviet Size 2 steel helmets are designed for head circumferences of 56 to 58 centimeters.

The helmet has been repainted on the outside, and the paint has flaked off to reveal the original finish.

The stamp reads "P-2," with "44" below it.

An additional stamp inside a star reads "43" (the year production of the batch began at the factory).
