I don't see the price he paid listed on the blog, but I can only imagine that this was the steal of the century (last century, too)!

Should the above Boing Boing link expire, here's the direct link to the original website.

Strange how many complete Gemini suits have ended up in private hands. This is the fourth I've heard about. Despite the occasional rumour I've still yet to find anyone with a complete A7L or A7LB Apollo suit.

Cheers,
Matt

Isn't it illegal to own such a suite?

Or can NASA Demand the Suite back ???

Very kind of you Freddy. You should see the stuff I haven't found time to add to it yet

Cheers,
