Re: Is this Helmet a gamer or replica ?
I think a replica...the facemask shows light wear. No NFL shield on the left rear...the rear bumper "RAIDERS" seems to be new...very bright and not aged...other items to look for...any numerals on the facemask clips? What are the three capital letters imprinted on the inside of the facemask near a cheek pad? Any recertification decals evident near a cheek pad and if so what year(s) showing?
I have college and NFL gamers and have seen the padding in yours match the padding in mine...I believe an early 1990's Riddell lid and clips seem similar to a 1994 Maryland Terps Riddell helmet I own.
The questions above are a starting point for what season(s) the helmet could have been worn.
The shell shows some scars...how did you obtain?
