RARE B.F. GOODRICH MK IV HIGH ALTITUDE HELMET AND SUIT US NAVY RARE    

Mercury Program, 1961, USN Mk IV, Mod 3, Type 1B, Full Pressure Suit and Helmet. 
This green USN Mk IV high altitude, full pressure suit was made by B. F. Goodrich. 
It includes the full neck ring, cables and a pressure gauge on the thigh, 
in addition to a gold USN patch on the chest and left and right shoulder. 
The integrated cloth shoes with the Pilots name on it are included, but the seperate boots are
omitted. Some discoloration around the big zipper would be expected, 
but the suit is in overall excellent condition for its age.

By the early 1960s, the US Navy had progressed through a series of developmental models of the full
pressuresuit that would ultimately take final form in the Mark IV, Model 3, Type 1, a production suit 
which US Navy aircrew wore on high altitude flights during its cold weather operations. 

Regardless of the success of the A/P22S-2 suit and its modifications in Air Force use, 
it remained to the US Navy's cooperative program with the B. F. Goodrich Company 
and pioneer suit designer Russell Colley to solve some important problems concerning mobility 
and full pressurization. One of the most important developments was an aneroid suit controller 
that maintained suit internal pressurization at precisely 0.24 bar. The Mark series of US Navy 
full pressure suits which followed culminated in three models of the final Mark IV suit, 
which went into production in 1958 as standard high altitude issue for US Navy squadrons. 
The Mark IV, Model 3, Type 1 suit featured various enhancements in fit and ease of donning, 
as well as substantially improved pressurization control. It would go on to be selected as the 
basic foundation for modification into NASA's early earth-orbital suit 
( the original Mercury prototype suits were specially reworked Mark IV suits ). 

Included with the suit is its matching gold helmet, complete with clear visor, communication and
oxygen hoses, external oxygen regulator, earphones and boom microphone. There is a soft pad at the
top, inside the helmet, that reads: "3727" , Mk IV, MOD 2 / Type II / Stock No. RH-8475-861-2386-LF 50 . 
There is a USN Navy decal in front and on the back of the helmet, above the B.F. Goodrich label and
alongside the white "Rescue" label near the oxygen regulator!

This is an opportunity for the astute collector to acquire one of the iconic space suits of the 
US space program. Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000.Click for more pics!
