I'm not an expert by any means but that facemask looks a bit generic/simplistic for a Running Back.

Look up the postings by "Vikingshelmetguy" and you will see several of his gamers posted on here and compare to yours. Also there is a thread of "Show me your Game worn NFL helmets" and there are pictures in that file.

Shouldn't there be a screw hole or button on the Viking horn logo to attach the chinstrap's upper strap. Also there isn't a chinstrap on the helmet so you may want to ask to see it.

Re: AP game worn helmet real or fake?
Right off the bat I see several things wrong with it:
* Wrong style of face mask
* No holes for upper chinstrap mounts
* AP's helmet has a purple 'Riddell' front sweatband decal, not 'Vikings'
* Wrong facemask stabilizers
* Wrong color font on warning rear label
* No purple air valve caps
I'd stay far away, and write the guy and tell him he's a fraud.
