I graduated from diving school in 1957, and was a qualified diver for over 33 years. The helmet with stand, diving dress, boots, and knife were given to me by a fellow diver and friend over 30 years ago, prior to his passing. The breastplate is still marked with a red spot to identify the diver as "RED Diver" for underwater communications. The lifeline and air hose tie-downs are still in place from the last time the helmet was used.
The name-plate on the front of the breastplate has a serial number and all parts; breastplate clamps, port protectors, and helmet display the same serial number. The diving dress is marked "size 2". Other than stains and marks from use, and some very minor cracking of the rubber at the cuffs and where the dress mates with the breastplate, the dress is in relatively good condition. The boots are in good condition with the exception of the missing lacing on one. The knife is in good condition except for very minor rusting on the blade.
The helmet with stand, dress, boots and knife are a package deal. Requests for individual pieces will not be honored.
Shipping is in two boxes; box one contains the helmet, breastplate and stand. Box two contains the dress, boots and knife. Seller will work with buyer on shipping. Cost for shipping is for continental U.S. only, and has been calculated at $294.79 to the farthest location from my ZIP code via UPS. The surcharge amount listed for HI, AK or PR is approximate. I will work with a buyer from HI, AK, or PR to get the lowest rate. I have calculated the listing for overseas shipping to Europe. That cost via UPS is $1162.78. I will work with anyone on shipping overseas to find the lowest rate.
