Wesley Walls was a highly productive pass catching tight end who played the majority of his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers. From 1992 through 2002 he hauled in 44 touchdown passes for the Panthers to go along with 3401 receiving yards. This lot includes one of his game-worn Carolina Panthers helmets from the late 1990s during what were his most productive seasons. The well-worn helmet shows ample game use and sports several nicks and scrapes sustained during on-the-field collisions. The Riddell Large (size 7¾) head gear includes the Panthers logo on either side along with both the original facemask and chin strap still intact. Walls has signed the back left side of the helmet in blue Sharpie right next to his No. 85 decal at the rear. Hes added his uniform number (#85) net to his signature. A great piece of sports memorabilia from a five-time NFL Pro Bowler and Super Bowl XXIV Champion during his short stint (1989 to 91) with the San Francisco 49ers.

From the collection of the late Dave Rahn the 49ers' Director of Operations for 16 years. Includes LOA from his wife. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.

From 1986-2002 Dave Rahn served an integral role within the San Francisco 49ers organization. Starting as a public relations and media coordinator he soon took over as director of travel and team services where he was responsible for all football operations including travel and accommodations practice schedules lodging and meal planning. He later managed the concert tours for Fleetwood Mac Sheryl Crow and Lionel Richie. In 2014 Dave Rahn passed away in after a courageous 2-year battle with cancer. "He was like a wheel and all these spokes from those years came from him" said his close friend former linebacker Gary Plummer. "He kept the 49ers family from those times together." His collection includes dozens of 49ers game-worn and autographed items gifted by the many players and staff members who were loyal friends to Dave and will forever remain close to his loving family.
