Thanks Mike!
"The top helmet is the example from Ostrova (Robinson 1975, Pls.407-10), somewhat restored from its original form as discovered, the reconstruction being influenced by the Heddernheim eagle helmet (I'm not sure I would have been so certain of its form, but that's just me...). " Having gone back to Robinson, and realised why I didn't recognise it, I think that "somewhat restored" is being kind- I am hoping that the original still exists and that this is a constructed replica rather than the complete rebuild that it appears...
