Need help! My Soviet/Eastern block Helmet

Hello guys,

Recently i bought a helmet from a guy i have bought from before. I ordered an Italian TR helmet with decal on it. Obviously this is not that helmet, but it is the helmet i got :D My question is, what kind of helmet did he sent me? I can see it must be a Soviet helmet of some kind, but i have no idea of what period this helmet is from, or country of origin. I can’t find any ink stamps. On the liner band there is a stamp "PMM 58", size 58. Rear skirt is stampe "M 92".

Thank you for your time and help.

Regards, Lars

3×5 Nazi Banner

I got this banner today, any Idea on authenticity? It is about 3×5 and multi part construction, and has to small stain areas. Does anyone know what this would be used for it looks like an early party banner that would hang from a building? Comments please :)

Antique Show finds

Just thought I would show a few of my finds . If anybody would like to see close ups let me know. Have not had a look at all of the photos but will post them later. The seller told me the iron swastika was broken off a fence and brought back by a vet . It was $2.00 so it is what it is. Gary

The New “Steel Pots” Book Is Under Way

Below is a message we got from Chris Armold, Author of the helmet reference books: Steel Pots and Painted Steel. This looks like a great project and he’s getting the helmet collecting community involved. Be sure to click the "LIKE" button when you go to the Steel Pots facebook page.:

As many of you know I’m working on an updated version of my first book "Steel Pots".

When I first wrote the book, I relied on the first generation Internet for information, advice, suggestions, resources, photos and examples for the book. Some of you who are here were along for that ride and I’ve never forgotten how awesome it was that you cared enough about what I was doing to reach out to me.

With that in mind I’ve started a Facebook Page about the Steel Pots book.

Steel Pots | Facebook

If you visit it, I think you’ll see I’m working on several cool, yet ambitious projects, related to the book. In addition, I try to post a little something helmet related as often as I can to keep it interesting.

It’s a place where we can interact, you and me about my book. I do want your opinion on it, I value your opinion. I would appreciate your ideas.
