Steve Largent helmet up for auction at americanmemorabilia, worn during his last year(1989) with the team. All of the photos I have of Largent that year do not match this helmet, including the game where Largent broke Don Hutson's TD record. Due to the fact that the black text warning label at the right aft section on the outside shell, is not present. This helmet looks to be a mish mash of actual components that Largent wore? Thus, I am not doubting the legitimacy that this helmet, or, some of the components of the helmet were worn by Largent, just not as a whole? Also, very little wear on the helmet compared to the mask, and the decals look to be more of the smaller nineties version. Lastly, the facemask scrapings are not consistent with any pics of Largent that year.
Steve Largent 1989 Helmet Auction
Week 13 vs. Bengals the day he broke Don Hutson's TD record:
Week 16 last catch as a Seahawk against Redskins:
If anyone has any pictures of Largent that year where the warning label is clearly seen(@ right back), please post the pics.
Just to note, Steve Largent did indeed wear a WD-1 helmet that year, and it does look like in the one pic. where you can see the DYMO tape residue on the inside shell, a faint #80. So, at what point in 1989 did he wear this helmet?
