****PLEASE NOTE- THESE HELMETS ARE FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES AND USES ONLY AND ARE NOT INTENDED FOR COMPETITION AT ANY LEVEL****WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USE OF THESE HELMETS WHICH IS INCONSISTENT WITH THEIR INTENDED USE FOR DISPLAY ONLY**** On this page we offer many actual game used NFL helmets, as well as helmets that are game used, although not in the NFL, and then reconditioned and/or refinished to represent NFL game helmets. Most of these helmets have at least a few scuffs and scratches from game use, but not enough to detract from the attractiveness of the item. These minor "scars of valor" add a desirable quality to the helmet. We will provide information on each individual helmet below. Some helmets have additional pictures to give you as accurate a description as possible. After all, collecting should be fun, and why spend the same money on a helmet that was manufactured yesterday and has no game experience at any level, when you can get one for the same money that was built back in the glory years of the NFL and looks like it just came off the field? |
|
| Yep, you saw correctly. This is the real deal. There just are not many NFL game helmets from the golden years of the NFL, but here is your chance to own one. This Riddell Kra Lite II helmet is date-stamped '72 inside, and is complete with all its original parts and is museum quality. They just don't get any better than this. |

| Great old helmet for display! Thin mil decals with the classic gray cage running back face mask. Size 6 7/8, with date stamp inside 1974. Is it a gamer? Who knows? We did not get much history on this helmet when we acquired it, but boy with game use, it sure looks great. |

| Great old Wilson Bears helmet. Has same mask and chin strap that "Sweetness", Walter Payton wore. Display it on the mantle or wear it to the game! |

|
| Another great old helmet for display! Thin mil decals with the classic 2-bar face mask. Size 7, with date stamp inside 1974, just like they wore that year. Is it a gamer? Well, it shows wear inside, but we are not sure at what level, as we do not have any history to go along with the helmet. Nice heavy Riddell helmet. Sure looks the part. Who knows? |

| Another great old helmet for display! Classic linebacker cage mask. Size 6 3/4, with date stamp inside 1974. Game used helmet created to represent a mid 1970's Fighting Irish helmet. |

| It really doesn't get much better than this; a real gamer. The helmet is missing part of the "water jacket" padding that fits into the top and front. Otherwise, this is a real beauty, showing extensive game use, including a small crack in the shell. The single bar mask is actually one of the two bars from a 2-bar face mask. My guess is this helmet belonged to a kicker or punter, but we are not sure as there are no number references available. Great old original piece of NFL memorabilia! |

| Earl, is that you? It would be easy to think so with this awesome Riddell Pac-44 helmet, size 7 1/2, with running back cage face mask. Oilers derek decal and single piece red-white-blue striping are authentic for late 1970's and 1980's too! Earl Campbell and "Luv Ya Blue"! Another great old Riddell helmet representing a famous player's "hat". Enjoy. |

| A great helmet made to represent recent Rams heroes, such as Marshall Faulk. Has all the proper decals and labels to look like it just came off the field. |

| We don't have any of history on this rare old beauty. This helmet is made by Marietta, and is from the 1950's. It is a Giants blue impregnated shell, with the center stripe painted red. The "ny" logos are painted on in white, and although they look like they are possibly authentic, you need to remember that the Giants did not add logos until the 1960s. So, here is a rare and great size 7 old suspension helmet that has seen plenty of action. Also of important note, the helmet has never had holes drilled for a face mask. Who knows, it may have been a Giants "hat" from the glory years of the 1950's that some fan painted their beloved "ny" logos onto later. One thing is for sure, this 50+ year old beauty sure looks great! |

|
| Another great helmet to enjoy from the "Golden Years" of the NFL. This helmet is created to represent the great Cardinal teams of the 1970's. It has the 12-spoke suspension padding, size 7 1/8, with a classic single bar "stubby" face mask used by many quarterbacks, kickers, and punters of the era. Just like new, and the thin mil decals just make the deal real! |

| Old School Red Falcons helmet. Complete with vintage two bar face mask and "Riddell" nose bumper pad. This is a size 6 7/8 helmet created to look like the real McCoy. Looks like Steve Bartkowski just took it off. |

|
| Circa 1967, great old Riddell Kra Lite 8 helmet with the famous "standing bison" team logos, reconditioned to Bills Game quality right down to the very rare single bar "stubby" face mask worn by quarterbacks, receivers, and kickers. The Kra Lite 8 helmets are tough to find and great collectibles even without team decals. |

| Great helmet with game use and the battle scars to prove it, although the scrapes don't detract from the beauty of the helmet. This helmet has been reconditioned to 1970-71 Redskins glory! Riddell Kra-Lite II suspension padding with classic 2-bar mask and vintage jaw pads! |

| Great old school Kra-Lite 8 helmet with classic Riddell 2-bar mask. Black helmet with lots of battle scars that has been re-painted black. Has #20 painted on the inside above the ear hole. Size is about a 7. Reconditioned to look like a Steelers helmet that just came off the field after a Super Bowl win! |

| Lots of action for this helmet- just check out the paint and dings. The player who wore this helmet definitely got his money's worth out of the game. Nice Riddell helmet with attractive wear and tear. Of course you can clean a little of this off if you like. Cream colored shell painted burnt orange with the Browns striping and the authentic classic Riddell 2-bar mask to look just like the real thing. |

| Neat old Rams vintage helmet. We do not have any history on this helmet, but it is an awesome vintage helmet that has been around for quite a while. Size is approximately 6 7/8 to 7. Like all authentic Rams helmets of the 1960s and 1970s, the white helmet was painted Rams blue, and the horns are the natural white of the helmet itself. The thickness of the paint is a quality i have rarely seen on these old helmets, and never seen on any other reproductions. |

| Wow! This St Louis Cardinals Rawlings helmet will make a great addition to any collection. This late 1960s vintage Rawlings PH8 football helmet is a white impregnated (shows cream from age) and was painted white. The helmet is in good condition, showing tremendous use with paint loss and scrapes throughout. One rivet has been replaced (lower left side rear) as pictured. The helmet is stamped - Rawlings MADE IN USA on left rear side and Air-Flo PH8 7 1/4 on right side. RARE Rawlings Professional grade suspension helmet. These are original 1970s vintage decals on the helmet. Original vintage two bar Riddell BD-9 facemask and original Rawlings suspension size 7 1/4 (stamped on right side of helmet). The leather Rawlings top pad (doughnut) and vintage Rawlings leather jawpads are original as well. Classic helmet, don't miss out on this one! |

| This Rams beauty is an authentic Riddell Kra-Lite TK helmet manufactured during the late 1960s-early 1970s. Like all authentic Rams helmets, the helmet is a white shell with the appropriate areas painted Rams blue, which leaves white horns that are actually the non-painted surface of the helmet. This helmet was manufactured by Riddell for use on the field, but ended up as some of the helmet shells did, assembled into a Riddell helmet lamp. The helmet was removed from that lamp and recently received a suspension padding. The shell, mask, and jaw pads are all original and from the original manufacture date. This is a great old Rams helmet that was game issue quality and is a very desireable display piece. We have seen the helmet lamps fetch more money than we are asking this item, and the lamps do not have suspension padding installed. This will make a great gift for that old die-hard Rams fan! |

| Here is a great old and desireable Riddell Kra Lite-8 suspension helmet which has seen game use, and even shows a little discoloring to the shell. It looks absolutely great. We have then added the one-piece red-blue-red center striping and minuteman Patriots decals to the helmet so it looks just like the real thing. The Kra Lite-8 helmets are getting pretty tough to find, and this one will make a very desireable display piece. |
