This helmet was produced from a single sheet of metal, requiring a great degree of technical sophistication on the part of the smith. The helmet also has two distinctive raised ridges beaten out of the bronze that run along the crown. This striking feature is derived from earlier examples of the type that were made from seperate sheets of metal that were seamed together. The raised ridges would have protected the central seam from a striking blow. These ridges were retained as part of the design long after they ceased to serve a purpose. A horse hair crest may have run along the ridges. - (LA.511)

Propably you are talking about Potidaia, Sindos was established much earlier than the 9th century BC, the original name of it was Echedoros.

Perhaps it wasn't the most effective helmet ever, but who can argue with the awesome idea of wearing an entire, full-size, eagle's face. On your HEAD. That's about 11 out of ten levels of great.

The type Illyrian helmet originated in the Peloponnese and is Greek at 7th century bc the term "illyrian" is conventional just like all terms for helms.
Terms such as Illyrian and attic are used in archaeology for convenience to denote a particulat type of helmet and do not imply its origin.
