“Stanford never wore a red mask!”  That is what I said when I bought this helmet.  The mask was loose from the helmet - but it was included with the helmet.  “They wore white or gray!”  Well, I put the helmet on a shelf and there it sat until recently.  Ah ha!  I discovered that in 1978, Stanford switched to red facemasks for their trip to the Blue Bonnet Bowl.  Wow.  I went on a dig, found the helmet and mask, and installed it to the helmet using reproduction clips.  

Stanford Riddell Pac3 helmet.  The helmet has a datecode inside of - you guessed it, 1978.  It exhibits light to moderate wear to the exterior and interior.  The facemask, a Schutt 70s NOP, exhibits virtually no wear - as can be expected from one games use.   A tough, rare helmet to find - withthe proper datecode and original mask.
