@Fastcollectionllc BS6658-85 was released in 2005-10-14 so mid 2000's.

Early 2000's. It's a motorsport approved helmet with British Standard Rating BS6658-85 which you can see in pic 26.
About that:
https://www.en-standard.eu/bs-6658-1985-specification-for-protective-helmets-for-vehicle-users/
British Standard Institute (BSI) Tests
The BSI 6658-85 is a distinct British certification, lesser-known but still significant. It shares similarities with the Snell Foundation standard rather than the ECE standard.
Certain measurements considered minimum requirements for a helmet to pass in BSI align with the criteria utilized by the Snell Foundation.
Thanks for the question.
Any Idea of the Production date of the Helmet? Is there a Snell rating? ( not that we would use it, just trying to estimate the actual age of the Helmet)
