The Proof of Purchase is a promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is an olive green Brodie helmet with slight battle damage, two faded stripes down the middle, and a Team Fortress 2 logo of a slightly darker shade emblazoned on the side. A narrow belt with a gold buckle extends around the back, over the wearer's neck.

This item was initially given to players who purchased Team Fortress 2 before the Über Update on June 23, 2011,[1] but can still be obtained by receiving a gift of the game,[2] or by activating a retail copy of the game — such as purchasing The Orange Box.
