It has been drilled for a lineman cage mask, which is no longer present, but portions of the broken clips remain. The Riddell chinstrap is present and Wildcat Snubber is intact, with Riddell’s M155 padding system on the interior. Size 7 ½ sticker is on the interior of the crown and large jaw pads are present. The No. 62 in dyno tape is affixed over the right ear hole, matching 1980s exemplars.
