Luftwaffe Original LW headgear?

[PeterL]

Sorry for just asking questions and not beeing able to contribute myself, it would be nice with learning "L" sign as an awatar so everyone knows! This time I would like to know if this is an LW helmet of any kind. It's not a LKpW101, that much I have been able to find out.

Thank you

It is a late war Russian copy of the LKpW101

Thank you Gene!

At least I have gotten a better feeling when it comes to original or not, this one made me think both 2 and 3 times. I looked for pictures of similar helmets but couldn't find any.

Question, did the Soviets use this during WWII? I guess so.
