Game Worn Philadelphia Eagles helmet with #80 player identifiers.   The helmet is a Riddell VSR4 model in a size Large.  The helmet is all original and complete with no modifications since its purchase.  The facemask is a Schutt OPO model in carbon steel mounted with Schutt clips at the top and stabilizer clips on the sides,  As all Eagles gamers from this period, the screws securing the mask are black.  The Eagles wing logos are in good shape, properly positioned and adhered to the helmet well.  Game decals on the helmet include EAGLES on the rear bumper, team warning label, NFL shield, and a black Riddell decal on the front bumper.  Additionally, a team "display warning label" was applied to the rear of the helmet prior to its release from the team.  A #80 player identifier is on the rear of the helmet as an 80 decal on the inside of the helmet.  The helmet exhibits light wear on both the interior and exterior.  

We purchased this helmet from a major auction house as a Game Used Torrance Small helmet.  Small played for the Eagles during the 1999 and 2000 seasons.  The helmet matches what Small used with the exception of the high chinstrap buttons as well as the date code of the mask - from 2002.  In our opinion, the helmet more closely matches what James Thrash (also #80) wore.  Thrash played for the Eagles from 2001 through the 2003 season.  Thrash also wore an OPO mask, and the date code, the high chinstrap mounts, as well as the Stabilizer clip style matches what Thrash wore.  

If you are a helmet collector or an Eagles collector, you know how rare Eagles gamers are - as the team rarely releases helmets.   A great helmet to display for your collection, of a very rare team helmet.
