For your consideration is this vintage and original New Orleans Saints Riddell Kra-Lite II PAC-3 football helmet from 1976 as shown by the date stamp in the helmet. The PAC-3 was Riddell's first air-padding system which came out during the early 1970s and was made for about a decade. The padding was added to the shell of the already successful RIDDell TK-2 suspension helmet by adding inserts to hold the padding where the rivets would have been. This is definitely one of the most widely used helmet models you will find and the shell has never been drilled for a facemask! This amazing piece of football history comes to us from the estate of a former RIDDell employee.
The 8 helmets we have secured from this estate all have authentic team issued thin mil decals, applied by Riddell at the time of manufacture, and from the era this person worked for RIDDell, which was the 1970s! This helmet is a nice Large shell too! This beauty also comes with all you see, including vintage jaw pads and 4-point low hook soft up chinstrap with matching font. ITEM PICTURED IS ITEM YOU WILL RECEIVE. WE ONLY HAVE ONE OF THESE IN STOCK! All of our helmets are for display purposes only! They are not to be used or worn for competitive play. Westbrook Sportscards has been in business since 1988.
