As I was drawing up the papers to mortgage the farm to bid on this helmet and add it as my Grail of my Packer helmet collection...I noticed the high chinstrap snap holes on the top of the helmet. " Wait a minute, Favre never wore those on a Riddell..." was my thought.

Can someone show me a photo of Favre with high mount holes in 1995? his 1994 helmet did not have them. In addition that helmet had the Riddell printed trademark on the rear and a different warning label. His '96 helmet didn't have them, and they went to the mini warning label that year. In 1993, he had the high mounts, but that was a Schutt helmet, and the high mount was standard.

Could it have been a backup? I thought the backup was sourced through Willie Roaf and sold through AMI a year ago. Could it have been a practice helmet? Looked at several practice photos from 1995 and no holes.

Until I find a photo, I will continue the hunt and keep the farm...
