Can't help with the request, but somehow I sense that you're in the film/TV business, in costuming and wardrobe ....

I still have my 1986 Vetta. The kids use it with cantelopes to demonstrate why you should wear a helmet.

1977 MSR hardshell. I've skittered across a couple of frozen waterfalls in this thing. People tell me I should bury it. Nope.

I still use the same helmet I bought ages ago. I seem to remember it being a Bell, but I couldn't begin to guess the model or even tell you how old it is. It's plain white (now yellowed) plastic about 3mm thick (5 at the rim) and has 8 vent holes in, in overall shape as near half-a-globe as is consistent with fitting a human skull. The ANSI Z90.4 polystyrene liner was glued in, but is now loose. The only possible identifier is a Kajima Chemical Company sticker on the inside. It has a serial number, if that would help identify it.
