1989 Steve Largent Game-Worn, Signed Seahawks Helmet "My last game worn helmet 1989" w/Equipment Manager LOA (Full PSA/DNA)

A helmet is a football player's most prized possession. While athletes tend to wear numerous jerseys a season, or sometimes multiple uniforms in a given game, a helmet is usually used for an entire season.

Such is the story for Steve Largent, who wore this helmet during his final year - 1989. Authentication is secured with a letter signed by a former Seahawks equipment manager and a signature from Largent which says "My last game worn helmet! 1989."

The question which arises next is, was this the helmet Largent wore when he broke Don Hutson's touchdown record on Dec. 10, 1989? It is highly probable that Largent donned this helmet when he hauled in the record-setting pass from Dave Krieg in the back of the end zone against the Bengals. One thing is for certain, the facemask Largent wore when he caught the pass matches this style.

A photo on Getty Images (81346242) shows some flaking on the facemask, which this one does have. Largent also appeared on the cover of The Sporting News (Dec. 18. 1989) and this again appears to mirror the facemask of the helmet offered.

The size "7-3/8" Riddell shell shows game-use with a few light surface scratches from NFL collisions. The Riddell front bumper is reinforced with two screws, which matches what Largent wore late in his career. WD1 padding is present on the inside. "80" is written on the padding sticker. One ear hole has "G" written while the opposite side reveals "80" in black marker.

The front facemask has noticeable chipping which is also found on photos of Largent late in his career.

Overall, the finest Largent helmet extant.
