    sorry for bad pictures... I told you they are bad.

    the helmet is probably from 20-30-ies or from 40-60-ies era, made of fiber.

    My father remembers these helmets at the subway construction workers, who dug the tunnels

    The pics are not that bad Takc. Better a bad one than none at all.. And the helmet looks very nice! :cheers:

    Here is a coal miner wearing a similar helmet, if not the same model. Not the Best pic as it was photographed from the book... Said to be from 1939.

    Almost looks like the chap on the Donbass medal. Never imagined how good that representation of a miner really was!

    Gentlemen, thank you for your support to the topic!

    Kim, you know, I was searching for the picture of a worker in this helmet for a year and found none.

    Thank you so much! Looks that the?helmet?at?your?pic?really is similar to mine.

    Hello Gerd,

    no sadly I only have this 3rd class document. They become rare. Years ago you saw them often

    on ebay.

    regards

    Andreas

    Hallo Andreas,

    i will keep my eyes open for a document for the 1st and 2nd class. I have seen one for a 2nd class on german ebay a while ago, but wasn?t at home to bid on it, when the auction run out. Did you ask Alexei for a 1st+2nd class doc?

    best,

    Gerd

    :beer: Very nice Takc!

    Stoo, If I were you, I'd better had this for my son, not that weak bright toy helmet :)

    And then my son could happily work in mines with a really protective helmet like this.

    Because if he works in a mine with that greeny softy helmet, how can he be sure that his head is protected?

    I also thought about using of a steel helmet in this purpose, but it has no lamp holding device. It is unconvenient to work in a mine without the lamp, agree?

    :speechless1:

    :P
