Standard practice was to stamp the size, location, and year of manufacturing on the interior of the helmet. M 36 Image M36 Helmets.jpg thumb M 36 Helmets Image M36clothliner.jpg thumb M 36 liner The M modyel , or model 36 was designed by Aleksandr A. Shvartz, and began production in 1936. Its large front rim and wide flares over the ears provided good protection for the wearer. The German Stahlhelm M35 , introduced a year before the Russian M 36, served as a model for the development of the M 36. The M 36 was also fitted with a comb on top, which allowed for ventilation. There were also apocryphal claims that the comb was designed to deflect saber blows. Early M 36s were made with fragile leather linings. Due to the unreliability of these early models containing leather linings, later variations were introduced with cloth linings. Similar problems were also encountered with early leather chinstraps, so the leather chinstraps were phased out in favor of cloth models as well. Throughout their production four sizes were produced small, medium, large, and extra large. The M 36 was worn by Soviet soldiers in several campaigns of the late 1930s and 1940s, including ...
