Signed San Francisco 49ers Riddell Authentic Full-Size Helmet - Joe Montana

This is a full-size, authentic Riddell football helmet representing the San Francisco 49ers, featuring the iconic metallic gold finish with a central red and white stripe configuration. The helmet is adorned with the classic 'SF' logo decals on both sides. A significant feature is the autograph located on the upper right side of the crown, attributed to Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, executed in what appears to be a black permanent marker. The helmet includes a grey multi-bar metal facemask attached via yellowed clear plastic clips, a white chin strap, and internal protective padding typical of professional-grade equipment. Accompanying the helmet is a visible Certificate of Authenticity (COA) document, which is essential for verifying the provenance of the signature. The overall condition shows signs of age; specifically, the clear plastic hardware and the COA paper exhibit noticeable yellowing, likely due to UV exposure over time. The gold finish appears lustrous, though there may be minor surface dust or micro-scratches consistent with display. The construction reflects the high quality of Riddell’s authentic 'On-Field' style helmets from the late 20th to early 21st century, making it a premier piece of sports memorabilia.
