That is fantastic! Any idea what it sold for? Just curious.

[BlueBookGuy]

no ideas at all, I too would like knowing what the price  -   sure item itself is something super-fantastic, no doubt about.

Hi all !

Heavy stuff!!

[BlueBookGuy]

...super-heavy, I'd say ...  😉   but, everything is relative in this world.  I've seen at least a couple K-1s in the past, going away at much more   -   and, they weren't in the same condition as this...

I think he bought this from us at SOS last year.

Aloha everybody,

I am looking for a faceshield / faceplate - original or repro - for a K-1 or MA-2 USAF high altitude flight helmet (photos found on the Internet).

PM me if you have any lead. Many thanks for your help!
