Nice Wolseley helmet and belonging to the Maltese Police. The Kings Crown on the badge indicates worn sometime between 1902 & 1953, but to get a better idea someone in our "British & Colonial Police Forces" section may be able to give you better details of when it was worn. See this link;-

Ok! Thank you very much! ;-)

There is a reply to your same query under British Police.

I notice that the Compton maker's label has a date of 1916 and this gells with the 8 cork spacers between the headband and the shell. Alternative methods of headband ventilation started in 1917 but Vero's seemed to be the preferred method and was patented in 1925.
