Game Used Maryland Terrapins MacGregor 100MH Clear Shell Helmet.  This style of helmet was used by the Terrapins from 1972 through the 1981 season.  For the 1982 season Maryland switched to a red helmet, white mask, as well as changing the Block M logo to a scripted "TERPS" on each side of their helmets.  

The “clear shell” helmet is a very rare and highly sought after model, with the logos and paint of the helmet under the clear shell.  These helmets were, and are today, a bit brittle and prone to cracking - especially at the facemask mounts.  This helmet is an exception.  The helmet has no cracking at any of the facemask mounts and not the usual spider cracking at the suspension rivets.  Yes as far as cracking, this helmet is a rarity - it is perfect. 

The other issue with the 100MH models was the paint.  Some of the helmets had some paint issues with the paint not properly adhering to the shell.  This helmet does have some minor paint issues which we show photos of below.  Additionally, it appears that the helmet may have been made into a lamp at one time as there is some paint flaking at the round ventilation hole at the center ridge of the helmet.  

This beautiful helmet is complete with the exception of the chinstrap.  The helmet itself is all original and unaltered in any manner.  The padding is original, and in perfect/mint condition with no visible wear or issues.  The logos are perfect and colorful, properly positioned with no issues.  The helmet is a very rare size - 7 5/8 which will fit the largest of melons.  I have never seen a MacGregor helmet that large prior to this one.  They just are not out there.  The facemask is an original Schutt NJOP in the XL/Green Dot size, dirty, but with light wear.   A great, beautiful MacGregor clear shell - perfect padding, no cracking, and in a massive very rare size.  Don't wait on this one.
