On the inner rear lip of the helmet t appears to be some letter designations M I or M T followed by 68, under this are a series of four more numbers 3471. The chinstrap has correct color with Elite RZM stamp and has 13 holes as original had. The liner is stamped 61. This is a beauty with single elite decal applied in proper location. Picture of the right side Super Sharp Elite decal are available on request. Something this historic, real and original will make you proud to display.
