There is no refence to a 'second pattern' in the books I have.
This link shows a helmet very similar to this with additional chinstrap rivets and split pin liner fittings. It's noted as a reissued by Czechs.

Thanks Steve,
The rivets look indeed similar. The model with double rivets is an original without the venthole on the top. Looks like a re-issue version used by the Tsjech resistance in WW2. Or Tsjech resistance against the Austrians??
Cheers Paul

Hi Paul,
To me the link to Czech resistance may be something lost in translation. After looking a bit deeper the liner and strap fixings look the same as the Czech Vz20, so that may help with the time period of post WWI to the 1930s. Personally I would think this is a conversion of the newly independent Czechoslovakia.

Still a nice shell if the price is right.
