Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Now this is a salty helmet with a dual history! This is a Soviet made TSh-4 Tanker’s Helmet which was used by Iraq during the Gulf War. The helmet itself does show signs of extensive use in a hot, dry climate and presents itself with a beautiful salty appearance. There is some damage present to the shearling lining as well as staining, rust on buckles and material loss but it still displays wonderfully.
The TSh-4 or TŠ-4, alternatively known either as Танкошлем, or somewhat inaccurately as Шлемофон (Šlemofon/Shlemophon and loosely translated as Headset, since any helmet with built-in radio could be referred to as being such) is once Soviet and today primarily Russian tank crew's famous combat helmet, an indispensable headwear of literally any combat vehicle operator, a well known and probably the main recognition symbol (a trademark) of all Soviet, Eastern bloc, Warsaw pact and today post-Soviet tank crews as well as of literally anyone else using any kind of Soviet armor and their combat vehicles in general like the Iraqis and Iranians.
A lovely, sun faded salty example that comes more than ready for further research and display.
