Game Worn Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmet. The Riddell VSR4 helmet, in a size large is all original, complete, and unmodified as sourced from a private party. The helmet has a datecode of xxxx, and is painted Tampa Pewter over a white shell, in which was used for several prior seasons adorned by original Bucs logos with the creamsicle colored facemask.
The helmet has a Schutt RJOP-DW model facemask, secured to the helmet using conventional clips at the top mounts and shockblocker clips at the sides. The clips and hardware are original to the helmet. The screws securing the mask are Riddell, black in color, as used by the Buccaneers during this period.
The helmet exhibits light wear to the exterior with heavier wear to the inside due to multiple seasons of use. There is a #57 player identifier decal on the inside of the helmet. No Tampa regular season player wore #57 in 1997 or 1998. It is priced accordingly.
The helmet logo decals are proper and original to the helmet. They are positioned properly and adhered to the exterior of the helmet well, with no lifting. A rare helmet, tough to find, in a rare desirable model, with an original mask and hardware, ready to display and become the centerpiece for your collection.
