    Definitely Czech. No Cyrillic, standard Czech crossed swords stamp (that does it right there), Czech sizing specs, etc. Appears to be made in 1991.

    many thanks steve for confirming the identity and looking at date stamp on this helmet apart from labeling is there anything else that would set it apart from its soviet version

    Like so many immediate post-Communist items, there's very little difference from the Soviet inspired kit used during the Cold War. This style of helmet, however, is still pretty popular. Even the West Germans used, and still use, a similar style helmet.
