All of Elite Sports Marketing's memorabilia is "guaranteed authentic," plus they acquire much of their inventory "directly from the athlete" so what's to worry about. Here's their g/u "Lenny Harris" helmet. It's ending tonight so all this is coming a little late. Besides, I emailed them with these same points the last time they tried selling it. (Also, I'm pretty sure it also once had an inscription pertaining to Harris's pinch hit mark.) It was pulled that last time, but here it is again ....

Anyway, whoever ends up buying this may want to take advantage of ESM's 100% money back guarantee because, IMHO, there's no way Harris wore it given that the Dodgers didn't switch from plain white numerals until longer 1993 -- Harris's final year with them. And forget what the interior clock says. Teams use "old" new helmets all the time.

Here's Lenny during spring training in 1993 against the Braves and in a regular season game in 1992. (Note the difference in brim numerals.) For good measure, here's one of Eric Davis taken during a regular season game in 1993:
