Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

Re: Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

Hello everyone,

sorry if that question has been asked already, but I couldn't find anything.

I am looking to buy an authentic Dolphins helmet, one with the old logo on it. Even though labeled as "authentic" is that the exact same helmet the players wore on the field (except for the customizations like different face masks)? Or is it the nearest thing to an on field helmet they sell to fans (like authentic NFL jerseys)?

The reason I am asking is the metallic white surface the player helmets had. I cannot see that metallic surface on pictures of the authentic helmet I found on the internet.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks to forum member 'buc' for getting this helmet to me. '88-'92 era Tampa Bay Buccaneers Reuben Davis #79 game used helmet. Shows great use!

Is the Henderson helmet available? I would be interested in purchasing.

Interesting... thanks. I thought he was never going to sell it so that's why he never even gave me a price. very interesting.

Found it - "02-06" which is slightly different than what I expected BUT I'm guessing it could have been used in preseason for 2006? This one's tougher than I expected to figure out.

Hi Preston, I'm thinking worn late Dec 06 or during 2007 season. No where else really to look other than under some of the padding to see when the helmet was manufactured - my Hayes had a Riddell white sticker with the month and year easily read.

Re: Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

Hey Tom,

That helps a bunch as I also assumed 12-06 meant December of 2006 but wanted to confirm. I was thinking "K" might have been a code for type of facemask because as you had mentioned, your William Hayes one has a "C" instead of a "K" - I did look on the inside of my helmet and all I saw was the engraved information I had taken a pic of. There is a "Ti" logo on the outside of the left of the facemask (if I'm facing the helmet) - but nothing else appears to be written/engraved anywhere on the facemask.

Is there anything I should look for on the inside of the helmet that would help? With this helmet (or at least the facemask) being from December 2006, I'm guessing it would either be worn that last month of the season or 2007, correct? If 2006, it would be DeQuincy Scott who was signed it looks like twice, first on September 3, cut September 5 and signed again October 26, cut December 24.

Preston, another nice looking Titans helmet. I sent a question to Riddell re the date code. I believe Ti is for titantium and that it was manufactured Dec 2006 - the "K" I do not know.

I have a William Hayes # 95 Titan gamer. Also a Riddell Revolution lid. The Riddell mask date code is "Riddell 02-11 C". Has the "Meets NOCSAE Standard" underneath and then a "Pat. No. 7,036,151".

With you facing the helmet - left side - the aforementioned is printed on the top bar - inside on the bar. On the top bar - left side - printed inside is the number 74912.

The helmet was manufactured Feb 2011.

My helmet manufacture date and face mask date match it appears.

Re: Show me your Game Used NFL Helmet

And last but not least (well, depending on who #78 is )

Titans Game Worn Helmet signed by a couple random players (Blaine Bishop, Chris Sanders) - #78 sticker is inside helmet but there is no 3 digit letter code on the facemask, so I'm having difficulty assigning a date to the helmet.

Tom, you probably (well definitely) know a lot more about this than I do...here's a scan of what's on the facemask. I've never seen the "12-06K" coding...does that mean 12/2006 or what would that indicate, and is there another way to date the helmet if this code doesn't mean anything?
