REAL STUFF SPORTS CONTINUES ITS LINE OF NFL GREATS WITH THIS RARE HELMET. I’ve owned this helmet for many years. This is an original PPI helmet from the mid 1970s. It is the same model that Harvey Martin wore with the Cowboys. About as rare of a helmet as you will find. A handful of Cowboys wore a PPI helmet – don’t act like you knew that – but not many other players in the NFL used them. The helmet does not look like it was used. Martin wore this model of helmet during the majority of his playing days with the Cowboys, along with a MaxPro clear shell and a BIKE AiR Power. I love this helmet. One of the things that I like about it is the paint. Not the glittery, sparkly paint that you see on some Cowboys helmets. This one is very simple – in the Cowboys blue – just like the last photo of Martin in this listing. Martin in Dymo Tape on the rear. Helmet is a large 7 3/8 – 7 1/2. Green dot well worn mask attached – secured with slotted screws. Has a Rawlings chinstrap – four point low. Not many manufacturers made 4 point low chinstraps during the early 70s. Center stripe has aged to a beautiful off-white. If you know helmets, you may know what you are looking at – but I doubt it. This helmet is part of my personal collection and has been on display in a cabinet for years. Thinning the collection a bit and it can go to another collector. This is not a replica helmet, nor is it a brand new reproduction helmet that is now being offered. Great for the office, bar, or den. Excellent gift for the fan in your life. Review the photos and ask any questions.
