Dallas Cowboys Authentic Color Paint Calvin Hill TK2 Style Football Helmet
Please read entire description. Very rare full size TK2 style helmet which has been customized to replicate the helmet worn by Calvin Hill during several years of his career with “America’s Team”, including their first Super Bowl victory over the Dolphins! Photos are for reference only and not part of the purchase. This is a recently manufactured helmet, but you will not find this paint on any other helmets available on the market these days unless you purchase an authentic original Cowboys TK, and that paint will have faded to a certain degree. The paint we used on this helmet has been specially created by color matching an area on an original Cowboys RIDDell RK2 shell which has not been exposed to sunlight or elements since it was manufactured and painted at the RIDDell factory in 1968. As a Cowboys fan I have always desired to create this paint to match the game used Cowboys helmets of the 1960s and 1970s when America’s Team’s helmet shell colors matched their shiny blue-silver pants! We then had to find the correct paint, as most paints these days are not suited to this effort. We have spared no expense in creating this truly rare and historically correct collectible. This beauty has also been outfitted with a 1960s 2-bar style facemask as worn by many Cowboys players, and iconic full size Cowboys stars and matching striping. Please note that we have not added the Cowboys' famous dymo tape yet. We are able to add one with “Hill” or any other name on the rear center stripe in appropriate blue color created by using a vintage Dymo-tape label maker and vintage original Dymo-tape. Please see examples in several photos. We can also change out the facemask as well. Just let us know after you purchase if you want a different name on the helmet. Otherwise we will put “Hill” there. Here you have a truly rare and beautiful collectible. Helmet is built to represent the famous 1960s-1970s configuration of the TK suspension helmet with 12-spoke suspension, made with the same materials and colors as the originals, and readily recognized by the fully rounded shell, accented by the handsome metal rivets. PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT CLAIMING THIS HELMET WAS ISSUED OR USED BY the Cowboys. Will make a stunning display, and looks like it just came off the field! All of our helmets are for display purposes only! They are not to be used or worn for competitive play. Westbrook Sportscards has been in business since 1988.
