HGU-55/P and HALO flight helmet finds from yesterday

[littlegto]

I had a table at a Militaria show in Leavenworth, Kansas yesterday and I had a few flight helmets for sale. A guy stopped by and asked if I wanted to buy any flight helmets. I replied that I was always interested in buying helmets for my collection. He left and came back an hour or so later with a black trash bag containing a brand new, never issued HGU-55/P still in the plastic bag. It is dated November of 1987 and had two MBU-5/P cut visors, two MBU-12/P cut visors and the oxygen mask receivers all sealed in plastic. Also in the trash bag was a used Gentex HALO helmet in good condition. He told me he would like to get $100 for BOTH helmets. I didn't even try to negotiate and happily handed over the money.
