Russian diving helmet ID plates

The two images above are examples of typically found identification plates on Russian diving helmets. These plates are important for determining the age and factory where the helmet was made. The brass plates will be found on the front of the helmet directly below the large neck ring on the breastplate plate. 

Diving helmets made in Russian have typically always been produced at a state-run factory, not by a company. The style of the helmets in many cases will be very similar to the two examples features on this page. Referred to as a 3 bolt or a 3 / 12 bolt design, the helmets will almost always be made with a copper body and brass hardware. Other styles and configurations of diving helmets have been made during the 1800s and 1900s.

Helmets made during the 1960s into the 1990s were produced in very large numbers. In many cases, these helmets were never used and made their way out of Russian via various avenues. Despite their large production numbers, they do have value to us!
