Repro helmet - how good is it?

Postby Polski-privet on Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:39 pm

I recently found a helmet from a dealership who does alot of good modern russian and warsaw pact equipment, but I've never bought any GPW stuff off of them.
How authemntic do you think the helmet looks? http://www.sovietarmystuff.com/detail.p ... uct_id=341[/url]
Quantity has a quality all its own

Looks fine to me, shipping costs would swing it because with the exchange rate the way it is the basic price is good one.

Trapper Industries have got some at £35 but I'd want to see them first especially as they say they were refurbed in Poland postwar.

if they are post war refurbs from what I can figure out from my Polish book of helmets(big bumper book for boys :D ) a post war refurb is basicaly a 1940 sov shell,gutted and fitted with "czech" type fittings and leather chin strap and reissued as the wz50.
