Item Details
Description

A great example of a Soviet diving helmet in what is called the 3 bolt pattern. This helmet was made at Factory 28 located in Leningrad in 1996 as indicated by the brass ID plate. The three bolt style was favored among the Soviet Navy and was the primary diving helmet model.

As shown in the photos, the helmet has a wonderful patina to the copper body and brass hardware. All the correct hardware is present, including the window frames, faceplate, glass, 3 bolt nuts, and top handle. The copper body is in great condition with a very nice subtle hammered finish. The bonnet and breastplate fit together with ease. The large rubber neck ring gasket is present. Single air vent inside bonnet is present. The ID plate features a date of 1996.

Helmets made in Russia are gaining in popularity every year. DESCO even makes a unique neck dam, allowing use of the helmet without a large bulky suit. Russian 3 bolt helmets represent an excellent value, are a historical piece of diving history and Cold War equipment!

A certificate of authenticity will accompany all diving helmets in this auction from Nations Attic. The certificate will have a unique number that will match the number on a tamperproof hologram decal placed inside the helmet. This information will be kept on permanent file at Nations Attic and help ensure the provenance of the helmet and authenticity.

All items will be shipped with a signature required upon delivery and full insurance either via FedEx or the USPS. Worldwide shipping available. A shipping quote prior to the auction can be provided by emailing your postal code.
