Quick question: Does anyone know the mass of the Apollo Helmet?

Wouldn't that be the same as anywhere else?  ;)

I'm struggling to find any reference to the weight of the pressure assembly. The Operations handbooks don't appear to list the weights:
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/alsj-EMU1.pdf
http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/alsj-EMU2.pdf

Amanda Young's book "Spacesuits" lists the LEVA as weighing "about four and a half pounds" (page 83), but doesn't list the pressure assembly weight.

I haven't found any weight listing either, so presumably that is why Dalhousie is asking.  The book listing is a good reference.
