Wow, that is quite a story on the LOA.

Hey Mike! I saw the helmet and love the story, but am running into the same problem as you. I have not found any evidence that Skins ever wore anything but Wilson helmets during that era. Would love to hear from any others also.

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the Redskins ever wore Rawlings VM1 helmets? Ebay item #301162287322 offers a game worn Rawlings VM1 Skins helmet from the mid to late 1940s. The COA explains that the helmet was given to a high school kid in Virginia in 1971 by a devoted Redskin fan. I can find lots of pictures of Wilson helmets from that era, but can't find a Rawlings. Would love any help or insights.

Thanks!

Mike
