Game Used Duke Blue Devils helmet used from 1941 through 1945. The helmet is original and complete and unaltered in any way. The helmet remains in excellent condition with the original blue with white painted stripes. The interior suspension is intact and in very good condition. The helmet has remained either on a mannequin head or a stand since we have owned it - thus taking the pressure off of the helmet sides which causes bending of the sides. The helmet is original and unmodified in any way. A bit rare and highly sought after team and helmet, in excellent condition for an 80 year old helmet. The helmet has holes where a one bar mask was installed - most likely when the helmet was used for practice in the 1950s after plastic helmets were introduced. The helmet was sourced from a private party out of the Durham, North Carolina area, from a family of a Duke Alumni. A great helmet and example of early helmet in wonderful display condition, at a very good price.
