Game used Oakland Raiders Riddell Kra-Lite TK suspension helmet. The helmet is from 1971 and shows moderate game wear on the exterior and light to moderate use on the interior of the helmet. The helmet is complete including the chinstrap, with the original suspension, original leather jawpads, and the original Riddell BD9 model two bar facemask, dated 1971. The helmet shows some hit marks and paint transfers including one to the front right side of the helmet. There is damage to the right side logo - to upper left side. The helmet has been signed by several Raiders from the time period including but not limited to: Ken Stabler, Howie Long, Jack Tatum, Willie Brown, and Fred Biletnikoff. No player identifiers are marked on the inside of the helmet and the player identifiers have been removed from the exterior rear of the helmet. The center stripe and logos are original to the helmet, positioned properly with no lifting. The center stripe has shifted a bit to the left side of center as shown in the photo above. A very rare and well preserved 50 year old helmet from the Raiders dynasty period that will not last long given the number of Raiders helmet collectors and the rarity of a helmet like this.
