Here is your opportunity to own a piece of Russian Navy diving history! Referred to as a 3-bolt model, this was the standard helmet used by Russian and Soviet military divers throughout the second half of the 20th Century. This beautiful example was made in 2000 and appears to have never been put into service.
 
The copper body features a nice subtle patina that has formed over the last 24 years. All the factory-installed brass hardware is intact, including the faceplate, neck rings, exhaust, three bolts, breastplate studs, and ID plate. The white plastic air cover over the air & comms connection is still intact. The original rubber neck ring gasket is present and pliable. Inside, the bonnet features a removable air channel and bracket for a communications reproducer. There is a very slight angle to the bottom edge of the front and back edges of the breastplate, which is likely original. In other words, this helmet is exactly the way it left the Russian factory!
 
As the supply of these iconic helmets has dwindled over the years, their values have gone up accordingly. Despite this, they are still a relatively economical helmet popular around the world. The good folks at DESCO offer a three-bolt neck dam, allowing easy use of this helmet without a huge Russian dive dress.
 
All helmets sold by Nations Attic Inc. will have a certificate of authenticity (COA). This COA will have a serial # on it that will match the # on a tamperproof holographic decal placed on the inside of the helmet. This level of security and long-term assurance of the helmet’s authenticity is unmatched in the industry and very important to us.
 
The display stand shown in the photos is not included. The option to purchase one at a discounted price is available. The helmet will be shipped in two double thick specially prepared boxes via FedEx. Worldwide shipping is available. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
