Slip this hardware on your head and pretend you're Peter Dalla Riva, the legendary CFL Hall of Famer who wore this blue game-worn suspension helmet during his 14th and final season with the Montreal Alouettes, a franchise record. What a classic helmet to own. This dark blue Dalla Riva "Riddell" head gear shows the marks of a warrior, with nicks and marks throughout, with aged and worn leather padding inside, accompanied by stained foam padding. With the Alouettes logo stickers on both sides and the iconic #74 sticker blaring from the back, the helmet also features two chin straps and full face mask (unattached), and comes with an LOA signed by Mr. Dalla Riva. A nice and important game-worn piece from a true legend of the game. This classic helmet was worn by the man who played in six Grey Cups, has his number 74 jersey retired by the Als, and is a member of the CFL Hall of Fame. Dalla Riva would retire as a player following this 1981 season when he wore this iconic head protector. The plastic pieces holding the face mask have grown old and brittle, and because of this the face mask is apart from the helmet. Of the two leather chin straps, the one on the helmet is in excellent condition, while the extra one has grown brittle with age and shows serious game-use.
