Please Help Me ID this Helmet

I picked this helmet up recently from a classified ad in Alberta Canada, can anyone help me out? All my reseach on the net has come up with nothing.

Thanks

Any idea where I can find other references to this lid? Also, it sounds rare as I am having a hard time finding information on this helmet? Any idea of value?
