This unique helmet was just recently discovered among the inventory of a diving company that started in the 1960s. This helmet is a KMSLH-7 or Kirby Morgan Superlite Helmet model 7. In 1966 only 36 of these were produced, this being one of them! The helmet also features the famous brass tag from R. Kirby. It’s unknown if some of these older ID plates were simply used to get rid of them or if this specific helmet is one of the very first, before a updated Kirby Morgan one could be applied. Regardless, this original used helmet is a rare find. As shown in the photos, the helmet when in use received a custom paint job with pinstripes applied. Some of the original hardware has been removed, but overall the helmet is a rare and very early fiberglass model well worth preserving or receiving a restoration.

All diving helmets in this auction will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Nations Attic.
