looks very similar to the helm Joe Metz is wearing in his recent kit photo on the DoK facebook thread, he might be your best point of contact

The one he's wearing in those photos is the one I just ordered as well:

Yep, definitely closest to a mac-bible helm.

Platener makes a pretty close version of that (and some cool armor in general too):

http://www.platener.eu/helmy.html, scroll down about 2/3 of the way. He takes orders from the US.

Another option would be to ask Svan if he could do some custom modifications to his 'standard' helmet: http://www.forgeofsvan.com/en/vmchk/%D8%EB%E5%EC%FB/%D2%EE%EF%F5%E5%EB%FC%EC/Detailed-product-flyer.html

Extra rivits around the crown plate, cut the bottom flush instead of tapered, and extend the front nasal plate all the way to the crown ... would be almost exactly the same.
