    Wolseley Helmet Malta


    Recommended Posts

    Hello

    I'm new here and I apologize for my bad English!

    I come from Germany and I am 44 years old.

    I found a Wolseley Helmet. Who can give me info on this helmet?

    is rare?

    What is the price for that?

    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;-

    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.
