Does that make the Bills "bastards", or something like that? :lol:

Ralph was also a minority owner in the Raiders.

He had a thing for silver I guess.

Nah, he was just bailing out their franchise before they brought the whole league down.

Doesn't the padding in the helmet look a little "modern" considering the era of the helmet.  Methinks that this is not "original".

You're right about the pads, but almost all the new ones I've seen (Ridell and Evolution) have an inflatable bladder at the top. They have a small nipple (like a football) on the very top that accepts the pump needle. I don't see that on the pictures. It could be an original that had it's insides renovated. Or it could be a 20 year-old helmet that's been spray painted silver. :doh:

Knowing you guys, this has probably appeared before but for those who have never seen these helmets, well, prepare yourselves...

I concur with some others. It looks like it has never been seen any game action and looks in pristine shape for being 45 years old.
