Game style Rawlings ANFL model helmet from 1988. Helmet is complete with ALL interior padding, original Rawlings chinstrap, original Rawlings jaw pads, and rare Schutt thin wire 1988 dated OPO model facemask - secured with the original clips and hardware. Great helmet large sized helmet showing marks and wear to the exterior.
The decals and striping is original to the helmet, positioned properly, and adhered to the helmet with no lifting. The side stripes of the helmet have slid over time with adhesive remnants wisible of the original position of the stripes - common among some of the older helmets. The ANFL model was used in the NFL as the "AIMS" model in the 1980s while also sold to the public as "the same helmet worn on the field." The Redskins used this model of helmet almost exclusively during the strike shortened season of 1987 as shown on film and many photographs of the games played by replacement players. The team kept their normal helmets for their players but needed additional helmets for their "scab" roster. Today, unlike some teams - Cowboys, Giants, Bears - Redskins ANFL model helmets are rarely found. Great helmet at a great price.
