US., NASA HGU-/P Pilot's Helmet
US., NASA HGU-2/P Helmet. This red/white metallic finish helmet with intact sun visor has a NASA logo integrated right into the front of the visor cover. There is a blue/silver "Protection, Inc." label beneath the right earphone that reads: "Name: Cobb. J., Date: 10-16-75, Model: HGU-2/P, Liner No. 719 MED". There are residue patches alongside the label showing prior labels existed, but they are gone now. The consignor's name ("Jere") is printed beneath the finish at the back of the helmet, showing that the helmet was custom-made for him. An oxygen mask and a padded helmet carry bag (by Unicor) with a "Jere B. Cobb / Pilot & Aviation Services") business card/CREW ID laminated tag, are included. Other than a couple of small/minute finish chips on the helmet (after all, this was a working helmet at one time. Each is a badge of honor) and one screw missing on the visor cover, this helmet is a major find for any aviation or space collector. A well-used pair of tan leather gloves is included with the carry bag.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
