Game Used UCLA Bruins Riddell WD1 model helmet. The helmet is all original and complete except the chinstrap and attributed to defensive back George Paton who played for the Bruins from 1988 through the 1991 season. As you may know, Paton is now the General Manager of the Denver Broncos. The helmet is a size 7 1/2 and has an original mold date of 1986. The helmet was reconditioned and was worn on the field for the 1990 season and then relegated to Paton as his practice helmet in 1991. The helmet has a Schutt OPO model facemask with a datecode of 1986. It is secured to the helmet with the original clips at the top and side mounts of the helmet. The helmet has Riddell vinyl Pac3/WD1 jawpads as used by Riddell during this period. The logos are original, positioned correctly and adhered to the helmet well with no lifting. Nice helmet in excellent condition, perfect for display of a successful NFL General Manager.
