Confirmation that this is not a player helmet!
Hi folks,
First time poster - just seeking confirmation that this helmet is not a player helmet. I picked it up for nostalgia /display sake as I am a 38 year Brit who grew up supporting the 49ers!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Nick

Take some pictures of the inside helmet stickers, one kinda looks like a recertification sticker, also if your able to take the padding out look for numbers. I have never held a 49ers gamer helmet, I know people here have them!!

It looks like the helmet was used, but not necessarily by a 49er. My guess is a high school helmet that's been repainted.

Re: Confirmation that this is not a player helmet!
Helmets, I am not offended by your comments. If you will look at what I said, the context was referring BrianK's response to it being a high school helmet. I didn't mention anything about the NFL not wearing a size medium. After looking at the inside of the helmet and the forehead pad sticking past the blue bladder, on the size medium. I'm thinking a younger high school player than varsity level. After the hundreds of high school helmets I have seen go thru the refurbishing and recertification process thru a local sporting goods store, this helmet looks close to what a high school or semi-pro player would wear at least by the looks of what I see on the inside jaw pad areas. I still don't think it was an NFL game worn helmet. I have seen plenty of NFL game worn helmets wearing the medium size red dot Schutt Pro Air ll helmets.
