Lot 738
Soviet Program, 1973, SOKOL-K ("Falcon") Rescue Suit. A similar lot, but a later iteration of the SOKOL-K one-piece suit in that it just has one multiuse connection cable on the waist and the suit pressure guage on the left arm has been eliminated from the design. The velcro-attached cover strip down the central access/egress laced is missing and the suit is well worn. Both gloves have the initials "L. V. Y." stencilled on them and there are three different patches on the shoulders and chest. This suit would appear to be a SOKOL-KV or KM variant which in turn are predecessors of the SOKOL-K2 suit. NPP Zvezda manufactured a number of variations of the SOKOL-K suit, none of which were ever used in space. A nice addition to any suit collection.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 7,500.
