Original WW2 1943 or 44 dated leather Soviet Pilot’s helmet. Iwith throat microphone. Has a nearly illegible maker’s label inside, with a date of either 1943 or 1944. The last digit is partially obscured, and very hard to read. Right ear cup is marked “AB.” This is the summer version of the helmet, without the fur lining.
