where did you get your m36 helmet?

Hi Sam, I don't see any Ssh36 in this thread? Have you been looking at pics of Comrade Viktor elsewhere?

But I got mine via Tony Oliver, out of Finland many years ago. Cost £80.

There is currently one on WAF, listed only today at $800. (£400) Liner is a replacement.

Cheers, Ade.

From me!

I bought if off eBay, from a guy who did RAF reenactment and had a basic inability to estimate Soviet helmet size. I think he said he got it from a street market in St. Petersburg?

Cor! They must be having a Turkish if they think anyone would pay that!

Nyet, no way, even if I won the lottery, would I hand over £400 for a helmet.

Comrade,
Fit a wick into it, String, Blanket , piece of SS Uniform( have plenty of cloth in it to soak up the Spirit.. Crimp the mouth closed, but so you can pull the wick up or down into it, drill a hole into the Cartridge, near the top as a fitting hole... A Cartridge of a fascist Weapon System is best as it will not effect State recycling and material Norms... Store in a Rag, so you don't cover everything in fuel .

And the correct fuel to use in one of these lamps is (and dont try this at home without carefull testing first!!!) petrol. But you dissolve table salt in it first- which reduces the flash point & flammability to an almost safe level (by Soviet standards). Best of luck, and the careful testing at home will have to include a very long taper to light your initial mixtures. My first one was still lively . I'll try again when the scorch marks have healed.

Hi Comrades, I have one of these WW2 trench lamps, had it sent over from St. Petersberg. Haven't tested the H&S aspects of it yet, looks like it might have the potential of the Molotov!
