Från ChatGPT:
Based on what’s visible in your photos and what you can read on the label (“PRO HEADWEAR, B58 or 858, HELMETS LIMITED, B.S.”, size 7?), here’s what it almost certainly is:
? Brand: Helmets Ltd (also known as Helmets Limited of Wheathampstead, England)
? Model: Most likely the B.T. (or B.T.2 / B.T. H) series or B Type 58 — often marked as “B 58” on the label.
? Era: 1950s–1960s
? Origin: United Kingdom
About the maker:
Helmets Ltd was a British company that manufactured flying helmets, dispatch rider helmets, and later motorcycle helmets. They supplied both civilian and military markets. Their labels typically included:
> “Pro Headwear”
“Helmets Limited”
“B.S.” followed by a British Standard number (e.g., B.S. 2001 or B.S. 2826)
The “B58” likely refers to a model type or batch code, and “B.S.” refers to British Standard certification.
Your helmet’s characteristics — silver paint, exposed rivets, half-face open design, leather or fabric lining, red satin interior — all match the Helmets Ltd Pro Headwear motorcycle or flight helmets from the late 1950s to early 1960s.
So, summarizing:
> ?? Helmet: Helmets Ltd “Pro Headwear”
??? Model: Likely B58 (British Standard helmet, size 7?)
?? Made in: Wheathampstead, England
?? Circa: 1950s–1960s
If you’d like, I can help you compare it visually to a few known examples from archives and collectors’ sites to pinpoint the exact model — want me to do that?
Great — I searched archives, museum collections and local history pages for the makers/markings you read. Short version up front:
Very likely maker = Helmets Limited (Wheathampstead, Herts) — the label “Pro Headwear / Helmets Limited / B.S.” fits that firm.
Why I say that Helmets Limited (Wheathampstead) is a real UK manufacturer that traded as Helmets Ltd and made a wide range of helmets (flying, motorcycle, fire, police, etc.). Their name and labels show up in museum and local-history records. The interior wording you read — “Pro Headwear” / “Helmets Limited” / “B.S.” (British Standard) — matches the style of stamps/labels used by Helmets Ltd in many preserved pieces (flying helmets, service helmets) in museum collections. The company and its office are documented locally (Historic England / Wheathampstead records), so Helmets Ltd is the correct manufacturing identity for many mid-20th-century UK helmets. About the model number you read (B58 / 858) I couldn’t find a definitive online catalogue page showing a “B58” motorcycle helmet image from Helmets Ltd, but the company used model/batch codes and British Standard markings on internal labels. The “B58” on your label is consistent with a model/batch code rather than a brand-name like Bell or Cromwell. (Museum/auction records show many Helmets Ltd items with interior labels but not always full model photographs online.) How well your helmet matches known Helmets Ltd pieces Features that match Helmets Ltd era pieces: visible stitched/fabric inner lining, riveted trim, British-style construction and interior label placement. The silver shell and rivet pattern are consistent with mid-20th century UK open-face helmets. What I couldn’t confirm from the web searches I could not find a clear, publicly posted photo of the exact “B58” model from Helmets Ltd to match paint/rivet layout exactly. Marketplaces (eBay, auction houses, museum collections) have similar items but not that exact label+exterior combo in high-quality images.
If you want to be extra certain I can:
Search eBay/auction/collector listings for that exact “Pro Headwear / Helmets Limited / B58” label string and show matching listings (if any). Compare your helmet to close-up photos of Helmets Ltd flying / motorcycle helmets in museum collections and auction houses to try to pinpoint the exact model variant.
Tell me which you prefer and I’ll run the marketplace/auction hunt and show anything matching.
