The chin strap makes look like a store bought authentic to me. Also the plastic clamps that attach the facemask, don't the pros double them up in the corners. Am I correct?

Out of all the photos I've been able to find, I've found three issues:

1) The chin strap on the Ebay helmet is not what he wore in '91-'92 (could be explained that the seller lost the original and added one)

2) As already stated, the mask doesn't have the double clips in the corners

3) The photos show that he wore is chin strap with a high snap, which convers "Pat Patriot's" foot, if you're looking at the left side of the helmet.

To me, this is the most telling. You could argue about the chin strap not being orginal, or the corner snaps breaking off, but it's hard to fill a hole were that top snap should be.

I'm in no way a helmet expert, but these are obvious observations based on numerous photos from that year.
