I´ve found this numbers in the left jadpaw

I think that this is the small circular indentation divided into four with letters in several of the sections. Letter "T", "X" and "G". What is the meaning of this letters?

Yes, that should be the date code for the helmet but on the VSR4s, I have yet to figure out what the alphabetic code represents. Up until the VSR4s, most of the previous Riddell helmets had a numeric code instead of this letter code. I am unsure what the 5-01 code is though, it obviously looks like a date code but I don't know if it is a consistent marking. If someone knows the meaning of the alphabetic date codes, please chyme in.

Here is one of the threads on GUU talking about date codes. It doesn't mention what the letter TXG code could represent but usually the helmet date code was designated by crown code and it was clearly represented in numbers.

This thread does talk about VSR4's production date code being on a sticker near the earholes. Your 5-01 earhole code is engraved but this may in fact be the actual date code. One of the posts in the attached thread does have a photo of the same type of 3 number engraved code.

The stupid alphabetic crown code has been driving me crazy for years...
