Ahman Green Packers helmet Opinions Please

[carct]

Just picked this up tonight. I know zero about helmets but the price was right. Any opinions would be appreciated. I got it from a lady whose husband won it at a golf tournament. She said they were told it was worn by Green. The sig looks good. Helmet has gold flake paint, scuffs and scratches, size Large, no flag decal and has been reconditioned. Pretty much none of this shows up in the pics. It doesn't look like it was worn much after reconditioning. I can see where there used to be snaps just under the "G" logo and you can clearly see where chin straps going to these left marks. Thanks in advance for your input.

I will start off by saying I am by no means an expert on Packers helmets. But Ahman Green always wore varying brands of Schutt helmets throughout his career, this is a Riddell. He also never wore this type of facemask. This does look like the square shaped Warning decal style that was worn during the 2000-2001 years, which Ahman was a member of the Pack. My guess is that it's a Packers team helmet of a lesser known person, and I say that because the helmet screws to attach the chinstrap on the high hook-up portion of the helmet look to be the same that teams use. It's a great looking helmet, but I would rule out the fact that Ahman used it based on some quick research.

Thanks. I saw the facemask was not typical. They probably heard game used and assumed Green wore it.

It is a Packers game used helmet, but was not worn by Green. I see this helmet is now listed on ebay. There was a similar helmet that was a Packers game used helmet on ebay that was signed by Green. It was on there perhaps a month ago. I bought it for about 200. The reason I did, was that the mask that was on the helmet was the same style that Bubba Franks wore. He was really about the only Packer to wear that style of mask from that period - Schutt JOP. Sure enough, I was able to photo match the deep gouges on the front of the helmet as well as other marks and characteristics to Bubba Franks rookie season helmet. I also found a photo on Getty of a close up of Franks left side of the helmet. It had two jawpad rivets that were painted over, and the rear rivet was silver as it had been replaced. When I received the helmet, sure enough, the rear jaw pad rivet was silver.

Tough to tell who might have worn this helmet listed as it had no identifiers and a very common mask that was used by many Packers.
