Up for sale is a group of Russian/Soviet era Propaganda Posters. These are reprints (hence reproductions) of the actual posters from the 1930s through the early 1950s. A good selection of posters that measure 16 inches by 11and ½ inches. Some of the posters have some slight stains in the corners but they are in very good condition. There are 19 posters total. The original package had 21 posters so 2 are missing. I will cross out the posters missing from the group (Xs in BLUE INK). These were printed around 2003. I am asking $22.00 for the group plus $6.00 shipping. ($28.00 total) I will not ship overseas. Payment methods I will accept are PayPal (F&F) or buyer adds 4% and US Postal Money Orders. Thank you for looking Leigh -

I’m old school generation war memorabilia collector, competitive shooter, range officer, and match director from U.S. deep southern cornbread born raised who has closet full of trophies since mid 80s long before smarter mobile phones than I existed, lol. I spent my childhood and adulthood working daily and help take care of my elderly great grandparents, grandparents, mom and dad before they crossed over to our Lord and Saver! I realized at a young age every time we lose a elder family member we lose a World Historical National Library! Beyond all doubt if we don’t fail on our responsibilities as parents, grandparents, and great grandparents to pass along our past elders experiences to our future generations, then only then have we achieved success! The countless hours I spent from childhood until my last elder family member passed away years ago for my only son to learn is truly endless valuable knowledge to pass onto to our future generations! I do have several collectibles I’m seeking knowledge for! I’m NOT here to take advantage of anyone as we all have our own crosses to bear in this life or the next! “Those who don’t learn history tends to repeat it” - Benjamin Franklin Thanks for your Time and Consideration, LeadSplatter -

The top photo shows a better picture of the liner, you'll notice that there is no joint in the back of the liner where the liner bridge joins, which would have been stitched together. -

Many years ago a friend and I stumbled across this and, in retrospect, rather carelessly took this pic. Would anyone be able to shed any light on it please? Thanks -

Hi Bill, was able to find 1 additional pic of the liner. Not sure it will help much but I'm including both for you. BTW, it sold for $350 (fortunately not to me) -

I'll see if I can dig them up. I think the liner appears to b pigskin (don't have the helmet so no smelling). My researching noted IJN helmets are cowskin & IJA are pigskin. The repainting brings up a big stumbling block for me. I've seen a helmet shell on Dan's site for ~ $600. Paints original - kinda infers that installing a liner & tie chinstrap is ok? Or hands off. One additional, was unable to send you a pm. Sure I got it wrong cuz couldn't get it to send I'll see if I can dig them up.

Sure I got it wrong cuz couldn't get it to send I spent time over past few days looking at Dan's helmets & those in this post. The anchor is crooked & its the same color as the repaint. According to Dan's info the emblems tend to wear faster. Also liner is the wrong type of leather. Hey could you pm me?
