Hello I was hoping maybe someone could help me with identifying the value of this helmet or where I could take it to be appraised or Possibly sold? It is NOT A REPRO! I believe it was worn personally by Bob Hannah because of the color scheme. From what I have read this color scheme was not a factory stock that year. If anyone has info or if I am wrong please feel free to let me know! I appreciate all your help and time!

As an FYI-- there were a bunch of DG team riders back in that time frame that wore the same Team helmets. . Is there a particular reason you think that this one was worn by the Hurricane?

Well because I acquired it from a storage auction in Phoenix Arizona which is where he retired.

DG sold those helmets to the general public. They were well advertised in their catalogs.

As mentioned they were worn by sponsered riders back in the day, MX and BMX. Could be private purchased as well. Although most likely not Hannah's originals are desirable and worth $.
