Game Used, worn 1978-82 San Francisco 49ers Riddell Pac3 model helmet. The medium shell sized helmet comes complete with 80s style Schutt NOP along with Riddell vinyl pac style jawpads. The mask is secured to the helmet using original Riddell clips and famous "Bronco" brass slotted screws. The helmet was manufactured in 1978 but has remains from reconditioning stickers on the inside - so safe to say it was used in the early 1980s as well. There is a 1982 Jim Davis Enterprises reconditioning sticker, as they were the company that reconditioned the 49ers helmets in the 1980s. The helmet also has the remains of an All American reconditioning sticker in the crown of the helmet - indicating use later than the 1982 reconditioning sticker. The helmet has gouges and scratches that have been painted over from the years of reconditioning along with some missing paint at the crown of the helmet as shown in the photos above. It is clear the helmet has seen much use on the field. The striping and logos also have some wear but are adhered well to the helmet. The helmet does have a #24 player identifier on the inside of the helmet - which was under the removed All American reconditioning sticker. Great helmet from a team that's helmets are rare in the market and highly sought after - in nice display condition.
