VINTAGE **1/81** BELL MAGNUM HELMET *SILVER & BLUE DECALS* VERY GOOD CONDITION

Description

THIS IS MY VINTAGE BELL MAGNUM HELMET PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN SANTA CRUZ CALIFORNIA IN 1981.  SEE PHOTO OF CHIN STRAP > 1/81
THIS BELL HELMET IS IN **VERY GOOD CONDITION** INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.  I ALWAYS TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF IT AND WHEN NOT IN USE I ALWAYS KEPT IT INSIDE A   U.S. AIR FORCE PILOTS HELMET BAG.
THIS PILOTS HELMET BAG ALWAYS PROTECTED THE OUTSIDE FINISH OF THE HELMET AND IT STILL LOOKS GREAT. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT KEPT THE **INSIDE LINING** NICE AND CLEAN AND IT KEPT THE **INSIDE PADDING** FROM GETTING ALL DRIED OUT AND FALLING APART LIKE MOST THE VINTAGE BELL HELMETS YOU SEE.
YOU CAN USE THIS VINTAGE BELL MAGNUM HELMET JUST AS IT IS WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE INSIDE LINING AND PADDING.  IT'S STILL VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR, AND IT DOES NOT HAVE BAD ODOR INSIDE.
1. THE OUTSIDE SILVER METAL FLAKE FINISH STILL LOOKS GREAT. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES BUT THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR BREAKS. A SMALL PIECE OF THE BELL GRAPHICS ON THE BACK IS MISSING. THE BLACK RUBBER TRIM AROUND THE OUTER EDGES IS STILL NICE AND TIGHT, IN PLACE, AND NOT DRIED OUT.
2. BOTH OF THE THE BLACK LEATHER CHIN STRAPS ARE CLEAN AND NOT DRIED OUT, AND THE INFORMATION STAMPED ON THEM > BELL MAGNUM USA **1/81** IS CLEARLY VISIBLE AND NOT DISTORTED.
3. THE INSIDE LINING IS VERY CLEAN, NO BAD ODOR,  AND THERE ARE NO HOLES OR TEARS. THE INSIDE PADDING IS STILL VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR, AND NOT ALL DRIED OUT OR FLAKING APART. THERE IS SOME COMPRESSION OF THE PADDING AT THE LOWER BACK NECK AREA, AND AT THE BOTTOM AREA BELOW THE 2 CHIN STRAPS.
4. THERE ARE 4 LABELS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HELMET.
a.   A RED AND WHITE SIZE TAG LABEL. 7 1/8" -  57 CENTIMETRES.
b.
A RED AND WHITE > **1975** SNELL MEMORIAL FOUNDATION  **SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA LABEL.
c.   A ORANGE > SHCA APPROVED QUALITY MEMBER LABEL.
d.  A RED AND WHITE >  VEHICLE USERS HELMET.  BELL HELMET INCORPORATE  NORWALK CALIFORNIA 90650
A VINTAGE **1/81** BELL MAGNUM HELMET IN THIS CONDITION IS VERY HARD TO FIND.  NOTE THE **1975 SNELL** LABEL ON THE INSIDE, AND THE **1975 SNELL** ON THE BACK OF THE HELMETS GRAPHICS.                **IN THE WIND**
