PHOTOMATCH help please!!!!

[mcwbc344]

I have tried to match the helmet and would like some help. I will post pics of what I think is a match but I have trouble zooming in. The recertified sticker on the inside is 2002. I do not know enough about helmets to know what year it would be used in?

Here are photos from 2003. If recertified in 2002, then I would assume used in 2003. What do you guys think. I can not zoom in. I do not know how. The only thing that I can go off of is the Riddell on the chin strap fading. Please help!!! Thanks

Imo
Upper mount chin strap length is longer (which could have been cut)
An
Flag lines up on ur helmet with bottom of air bladder hole
In the pic It looks above bladder hole.

I agree with the straps. Just now saw the difference in the flag.

Out of curiosity where did you acquire the helmet from?

Also I think it only a 2001 or 2002 helmet due to the black
face mask bolts on the sides. 2003 an up are stainless steel.

In addition to the black screws, the "89" font is too big and the "Panthers" font on the back bumper is too big.

I think you may have a practice squad helmet that's been doctored...

Sorry to hijack, but Ironically, I too have a Steve Smith helmet that I am trying to photomatch. Mine appears to have the proper screws. I am offering anyone $100 via paypal for a photomatch. The clips are Schutt and 03 30 on them.

Dave,

Check your PM's

Will you post a picture of the inside. Mine has a piece of lamb skin where the forehead area would be on the inside of the helmet. Just checking to see if yours does.
