Restoration Rusty WWII Helmet SSh-39

In this video, I will show the restoration of the USSR WW2 helmet. This model of helmet was SSH-39 used by Soviet forces at the beginning of World War II. This helmet has been in the ground for 75 years. This helmet I renovated to participate in military reconstructions.

Nice restoration, mate! But... Every time I see such helmets I ask me the question: Could they even stop a bullet? So, I mean... This is very thin steel, and I dont think it would stop a 7,92 x 57 mm Mauser bullet, shot out of a Mauser Kar98k. I would even say it cant stop a bullet out of a MP 40, Sturmgewehr 44 or a Luger P08. Does anyone know better? - Please let me know! :D

[@forestfoxairsoft6752]

This would have a good chance to stop 9mm out of a Luger, MP40, etc. It may stop 7.62x25 (PPSH and TT). It wouldn't stop 7.92x33 or 7.92x57 unless it's a lucky bounce or very long range.

[@CaptainFordoArc77]

No, It could not maybe a 22 Lr they weren't designed to stop bullets.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

They weren't meant to completely stop the bullets, they were meant to deflect them and protect your head when crawling around or from shrapnel and flying objects. Nowadays they coat helmets with Kevlar for bullet protection, but back then they were more about the best protection with lightweight just to keep the soldiers in the field with bombs blowing around them. Alot of guys would sit on their helmets in helicopters and lifts (pilots in airplanes also) to protect their 'jewels' from shrapnel.

Больно смотреть, как уничтожили родную краску на боевом шлеме с историей. Их хватает "учебных", складских. Покраска по кавернам - тоже "огонь". Звезду можно нанести гораздо более простым и аккуратнымспособом.

[@Ivan_Schmied]

СШ-39 вряд ли на складах есть.

Именно на этом шлеме звезды не было , это второй вид сш-39 выпускавшиеся в 40 и 41 году уже без звёзд, его сфера полностью идентична сш-40,

Great video, But where do you find the liners for the helmets and what is the liquid you soak the helmet in to get rid of the rust?

Looks great! I'm so glad you didn't go overboard with bondo like some people do and ruin the value of it. I do have a question, what was that rust eater solution you used?

Looks very much to me like there was no original paint left on. There are thousands and thousands of these helmets still extant, I don't think we can learn anything new from the original condition of this helmet that we don't know from all the others. Nice job !

[@the_loyal_monarchist5280]

Yeah. Not every ssh39 had red stars on it. The green stuff was the original paint. The helmet lost value due to your magic touch. You only had to put the helmet in oxalic acid for 10-15 minutes to get rid of the rust and reveal the paint. And I know what Im saying because i done it with all 6 of my helmets
