I just recieved a newsletter from Bender Publishing and one of the new books might interest you: "Russian Helmets: from Kaska to Stalshlyem 1916-2001" by Robert W. Clawson.
This volume, written by the world's foremost authority on Russian combat helmets, is the first comprehensive study of the most ubiquitous helmets of the twentieth century.
"Russian Helmets" provides the keys to accurate identification of the various models of Russian and Soviet helmets, from steel to exotic metals and composite fiber. It is a comprehensive history of each modeal issued in any significat numbers to the troops; in addition it notes numerous rare experimental models and evaluates their contribution to the evolution of subsequent production models. Included are never before published photos of the various models as well as cutaway drawings and diagrams. This book provides a reliable comprehensive reference for every serious helmet collector or student of twentieth century warfare.
