Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Fall 2013
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/5/2013
Nice game-used Buffalo Sabres jersey worn by Finnish-born defenceman Hannu Virta during his first season as a Sabre in 1981-82. Along with the Maska tag in the collar is a double cloth fight strap inside, a triple tackle twill team crest, and double tackle twill numbers. Game wear includes a nice team repair on the left sleeve, with some marks scattered about the front, back, and both sleeves. A small unrepaired hole on the right sleeve and some team crest puckering is noticeable as well. Virta played just 3 regular season games for the Buffalo Sabres in 1981-82, and due to the large Maska logo embroidered on the hem we believe this jersey may have been used in pre-season/practice and/or games during that season. All in all, a fine gamer from a fellow who would see action with the Sabres over five seasons before returning to his native land.
