Nice helmet! This one still has some of the mountings from the PNV-57 nvgs.

I have pretty much the same helmet, but instead of just one bump at the top, mine has four. It looks exactly the same as this one, just one variation. I'm wondering if it's still the same helmet. Having a lot of trouble trying to find exactly what kind of tanker helmet it is.

If yours has four bumps that would make it a TSh-4M (Second Model) meaning it would have been produced after 1972 until the next model would come out. If you’re not sure exactly the country the markings are the easiest way to differentiate them. Here’s the link that I use for information on this kind of tanker helmet: equipment.fandom.com/wiki/TSh-4

@@WarTalks I've seen stuff like that too, but there's a whole lot of info to support that they've been used since the late 60s. I've seen photos from Czechoslovakia, photos of Soviet soldiers serving elsewhere wearing 60s uniforms, and listings of 4 rib tank helmets dated as early as 1968. Edit: also I don't trust the wiki page for the TSh-4, it's pretty inaccurate

@@kaptainkrafter4130yea the only thing I’ve used from that website it to get an understanding of the date swaps because there’s not a whole lot of sources that talk about it, but thanks for the information always good to learn.
