Raiders Helmet Late 70's - Early 80's Thoughts?
Picked this helmet up recently and looking for thoughts on if it could be a gamer.
It's time stamped 04/77 and has recert. stickers in 1980 and 1981. It's a Riddell Kra Lite II.

Morning, on the surface has some good characteristics. I'm surprised the decals do not show some wear as the shell does. Clips and mask seem good…I'm going to look through some pictures on-line and in a book I have of the NFL and see if I can locate any good similar gamers.
Curtis at Helmet Hut - reach out to him…I sent him a gamer to look at and he did, shipped it back (I paid the return shipping) and is an excellent resource.

Any residue on the rear where players numbers would have been? Look at Getty Images Jan 1981 and the 81 season / your helmet looks good from several aspects - still more homework I want to do.

I'm guessing this belonged to a practice squad member. Seems like they would have taken better care of a game helmet. And no one on the roster with the initials KP.

Take a look a these pictures…several matches to that style face mask, Riddell front bumper and clips. Pretty interesting and I think it could be genuine. Helmet style and placement of various drilled holes, snaps, look good.
What do you think? How did you find it…any provenance from the seller?
