SLEEPY HOLLOW (1999) - The Headless Horseman's (Ray Park) Tunic The Headless Horseman’s (Ray Park) tunic from Tim Burton’s fantasy horror Sleepy Hollow. The Headless Horseman wore his tunic throughout the film as he haunted the town of Sleepy Hollow, with his costume decaying as the film progressed. This tunic displays little degeneration reflecting the Horseman’s appearance in earlier scenes. Costume designer, Colleen Atwood was nominated for an Academy Award for her work on the film. The jacket is made of woven fabric, with the upper rear section made of black velour. The focal point is a large silver, double headed dragon motif located to the centre with black velour edging. Further velour trim and decorative red pipping is present around the collar and along the arms. It fastens along the back with a zip and Velcro straps. The bottom of the jacket is laced with black cotton cord. The jacket has a covering of wax which gives a realistic decomposition effect, as well as distressing to give the impression of deterioration and wear sustained from battle. Four small metal hooks are located near the collar where the Horseman’s cape was attached, and a pair of black pads have been sewn into the lining of jacket’s skirt for comfort during action scenes. The jacket itself is quite rigid due to the wax layer, however overall it remains in very good condition. VAT Status - DAGGER TRIANGLE

Made from green nylon, the poncho shows "Security" printed across the back in faded yellow text. The front displays "FSU" – an abbreviation of Franklin State University, where Dunn works as a security guard – printed in red and yellow across the left breast. The poncho is hooded and fastens with a number of poppers either side. Accompanying the piece is a detailed wardrobe tag from the production featuring Willis’ name and additional information.

BATMAN BEGINS (2005) - Batman's Batsuit Batman's Batsuit from the superhero action film Batman Begins, directed by Christopher Nolan. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) wore his Batsuit as he battled the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) and his mentor, Ra’s al Ghul (Liam Neeson), to save Gotham City from destruction. In the film, the Batsuit was created from mothballed military research equipment housed in the Applied Sciences Division of Wayne Enterprises, run by Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who helped update the design. The design was superseded by a refined Batsuit in The Dark Knight. The costume was designed by Academy Award®-winner Lindy Hemming, with cowl and armour sculpts by Julian Murray. The design of the suit drew inspiration from more recent comic iterations of the Dark Knight’s iconic costume, though the construction was very similar to previous film iterations created under Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher. The cowl was specifically sculpted to fit Bale’s face as snugly as possible, while the cloak was designed to flutter lightly behind Batman as he moved. Hemming would later receive a BAFTA Award®-nomination for her contribution to The Dark Knight. The costume’s key components are Batman’s trademark cowl (marked'194' internally), and a body suit made up of figure-hugging torso armour and separate leg and abdominal armour cast over a mesh-fabric leotard with zip-up stirrups. A groin piece with a box fitted to protect the performer during the film’s fight sequences was worn under the rubber utility belt(marked 'Buster rubber' internally), which is finished in faux-brass paint and secured with cable ties at the rear. A lightweight faux-velvet cape is secured to the costume’s chest. The bracers – both left-handed versions– are made of black vinyl, with rubber blades along the forearms. Both the torso armour and belt are emblazoned with the signature bat symbol. A pair of rubber gloves and black leather boots (size 9) complete the outfit. The costume displays some wear from use and age, with small cracks and tears present in the foam rubber of the cowl and upper body armour, and some loose stitching on the left glove. The Batsuit is presented on a mannequin for display purposes. This lot is supplied with a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity in place of a Prop Store certificate.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012) - Batman's Batsuit Batman's Batsuit from action films The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, directed by Christopher Nolan. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) wore his re-imagined Batsuit extensively in both films. The refined Batsuit, a military-inspired redesign of the Batman Begins outfit, allowed Batman to fight with increased agility at the expense of the protection afforded by its armour. The updated costume was designed by Lindy Hemming and created by costume supervisor Graham Churchyard and his team, including key sculptor Julian Murray. The most significant design change was an improved cowl, which separated the headpiece from the neck, allowing performers to turn their head in the suit for the first time. Lindy Hemming received a BAFTA Award®-nomination for her contribution to The Dark Knight.The costume’s under suit is a two-piece full-length body suit of breathable mesh fabric with integrated gloves and a hood. Plates cast in black and semi-translucent urethane are strategically fitted across the suit’s legs, torso and neck. The gloves feature leather sections with carbon fibre knuckle caps. Internal strapping provided support for the suit during the film’s frenetic action scenes. Openings are present at the waist to facilitate the use of a stunt harness. Multiple pieces of simulated armour are dressed over the under suit to complete the costume. This includes Batman’s signature cowl (marked ‘R7’), a set of upper body armour (marked ‘14’) and a pair of bracers with detachable blade panels (marked ‘L’ and ‘R’). The cowl and body armour components are made of urethane. The upper body armour is emblazoned with the Bat Emblem, as is the distinctive rubber Bat Belt, which features four static belt pouches secured with metal fittings and is finished in faux-bronze paint with the bat emblem in black. A black faux-velvet cape, a Batman Begins piece that was modified for use on the two sequels, is secured with screws at the shoulders. A pair of leather motorcycle boots (marked ‘BR7’ and ‘9’) completes the impressive costume. The costume displays some wear from use and age, with small cracks and tears present in the urethane of the upper body armour across the chest and at the right elbow. The Batsuit is presented on a custom-made mannequin display. Dimensions (displayed): 50 cm x 90 cm x 195 cm (19 ¾" x 35 ½" x 76 ¾")This lot is supplied with a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity in place of a Prop Store certificate.

300 (2006) - Spartan Stunt Costume A Spartan stunt costume from Zack Snyder’s swords-and-sandals action film 300. Worn by the warriors of King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), this costume features pieces labelled for multiple actors, with the cape and bracers marked for Captain (Vincent Regan) for stunt use during the battle with the Immortals. The costume is comprised of a battle-damaged fibreglass helmet (marked ‘Astinos Stage 4’), a red canvas cape with a fibreglass clasp (marked ‘Captain Stunt #2’), a pair of urethane bracers (marked ‘Captain Stunt Phase 2’), a leather codpiece (marked ‘Tielle 32 a 34’, and ‘M’), a pair of urethane greaves (marked ‘Dilios’ and ‘Alan’) and a pair of brown leather sandals (marked size 10). The armour pieces are finished to replicate the look of hammered bronze. The helmet displays some cracks and wear, with battle damage and stage blood applied to the helmet, bracers and greaves and the cape is faded to give it a battle-worn look.

GLADIATOR (2000) - Praetorian Guard Costume A Praetorian Guard costume from Ridley Scott’s Oscar®-winning action epic Gladiator. The Praetorians were the loyal bodyguard of Roman emperors Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) and Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), offering personal protection on the battlefield of Germania and in the Colosseum. The costume is composed of trousers and tunic made of purple wool, over which is worn a pair of leather boots, a set of plastic 'lorica segmentata' (segmented cuirass) body armour, a leather skirt with plastic armour plating, plastic greaves and bracers, a fibreglass helmet with plastic cheek plates, and an eagle crest and purple wool cape. The armour is finished in black, with leather strapping to secure the armour to the wearer. The bracers are marked 'Cornejo' within, and a Cornejo costumier label is present in one of the greaves. The costume still has sand in it from its use in the arena sequences, with some scratches to the plates and helmet from use. VAT Status - DAGGER

Logan 1st Seaforth Highdrs). Very fine. (7) John Logan was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 10 December 1870, a cabinet maker by trade whose father had served with the 93rd Foot, The Thin Red Line, in the Crimea. He joined the Seaforth Highlanders on the 12 December 1892, undertaking basic training at Fort George, Scotland. His first posting was to the North West Frontier where he served for three years (receiving the India Medal 1895-1902 with the clasp Relief of Chitral). He served in Crete from March to November 1897 and Malta from November to January 1898 when the Battalion was sent to Egypt. He fought at The Atbara, 8 April 1898, and at the Battle of Omdurman, 2 September 1898 where he was severely wounded by a Gun Shot Wound to his left side – “Captain Egerton was at his side as he fell bent down and cut away his kilt, then called for stretcher bearers” – when the bullet entered his side part of his kilt, the thick overlap part, was carried into the wound, this it was thought plugged the wound and stopped him from bleeding to death. He was sent back to England in a hospital ship and convalesced at Netley Military Hospital and was presented to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and her daughter Princess Beatrice when they visited the hospital, talking to Private Logan for five minutes about his wound and the Kilt that had saved him. He showed them the bullet which had been extracted from his side. Princess Beatrice enquiring if, at her expense, he would like it silver plated, an offer he declined. This incident reported in his local Scottish newspaper. On return to his Regiment he was thereafter known as “Plug Logan” after the incident with his kilt. As his period of engagement was coming to an end the Boer War was just starting in South Africa, he remained with the Colours, was mobilized and sailed with the 2nd Battalion to South Africa on the 21 October 1899 taking passage in the “SS Mongolian” landing at Cape Town. He was present at the battle of Magersfontein as part of the Highland Brigade where he was wounded and taken prisoner; he was captive for about a month before being freed by the British Forces. He was returned to England at the cease of hostilities and returned to Fort George to await release and transfer to the Army Reserve which took place at the beginning of 1903. He joined the Territorial Army in 1913 joining with six or seven other ex-Seaforth’s, one of them his brother-in-law, Hughie Wilkie, the 6th Battalion the High Land Light Infantry choosing this Regiment as it wore the McKenzie Tartan kilt. The Battalion remained in Scotland after the start of the Great War proceeding as part of the 51st Lowland Division to Gallipoli, Pte Logan landing on Helles Beach on 6 June 1915, he took part on 6 August 1915 in the attack on Achi Baba, however the Adjutant “McPhie”, told Logan to “stand down as he had a wife and six children”, the Battalion suffered very heavily in the attack attaining the Turkish Trenches for only a short while. On their return to the British Line it was found that Hughie Wilkie, John’s brother-in-law was missing. John immediately went out into no-man’s land to look for him tending to many of the Battalion’s wounded as he searched. Eventually Hughie returned to the lines on his own. Contracting Dysentery whilst on the Peninsula he was evacuated to England to Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow in October 1915. Pte Logan was discharged from the Army in September 1916 being no longer fit for further military service. During the German Spring Offensive of 1918 the fitness rules were relaxed and at the age of 48 John Logan enlisted in the Royal Air Force and was serving in France on 11 November 1918 being transferred to the “G” Reserve on 3 March 1919. His greatest regret of Army life was that whilst recovering from his wound in Netley Hospital after the Battle of Omdurman his tin box containing his India Medal and the bullet that wounded him were stolen. He died in Scotland 16 November 1938, aged 67. Sold with copied family history and copied photographs of Pte Logan in uniform and his wife Agnes Logan nee Wilkie, who he married on 11 November 1903.
