Game-Used NFL football, or not? Your thoughts...

[BrianRichards]

I recently acquired this ball, which is obviously a presentation ball given to the player, but I also have a sneaking suspicion it is the actual game-used ball used on the interception play it commemorates. I am not able to photo-match it, and obviously it has been painted/altered, but it shows a decent amount of wear, and it is stamped "Redskins", which indicates to me it was originally a Redskins offensive ball. I can't see why the Vikings would have had a Washington ball in their possession to paint for the player in commemoration of the play, unless it was the actual interception ball and they saved it for Raymond to paint and give to him, since it was his first career interception.

Your thoughts???
