Maximus' (Russell Crowe) screen-matched general armour from Ridley Scott's Academy Award-winning historical drama Gladiator. Maximus wore his Roman general armour while leading the army of Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) in a final battle against the barbarian tribes of Germania. This screen-matched body armour consists of a two-piece cast foam-rubber breastplate comprising front and back sections connected by six leather straps, with metal details on the sides and shoulders, as well as a leather interior. It features several decorative details on the exterior, including a pair of silver-painted griffins and a wolf, as well as eight leather pteruges with metal details affixed to the waist of the front section, and two pairs of leather laces on the upper torso, which were used to secure shoulder armor. The back section features a pair of metal fasteners and "#1" written on the interior. The body armour screen-matches to a shot of Crowe riding a horse, based on air-bubble flaws in the casting and the specific paintwork. This costume also features a resin general helmet with a silver-painted wolf detail, a leather interior and a black plume on the top, made of synthetic hair. The hair plume is not original and has been added to complete the display. The armour components are accompanied by a brown woollen tunic with a cloth interior labelled "MAX under armour"; a pair of brown woollen trousers with leather straps labelled "MAX 1" on the interior; and a brown woollen cape with a leather strap affixed at the neckline. After the film's opening battle, Maximus wore these under-layers without the armour in several scenes, including his fight with the Praetorian guards; the tunic features a cut on the arm from this sequence. The armour and helmet come with a custom-made black wood-and-metal display stand. The armor features some production-wear throughout, including some paint cracking, chipping on the shoulders, and a series of pins inserted on the interior near the pteruges. There is also a large cut on the back for either ventilation or a harness. In addition to winning an Academy Award for Best Picture, Russell Crowe won Best Actor for his performance as Maximus, Janty Yates won Best Costume Design, and Ridley Scott was nominated as Best Director. This costume piece therefore intersects several award-winning categories.£20000-30000 Ω

A Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) and Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) ejection model miniature from Tony Scott’s action drama Top Gun. Radar Intercept Officer Goose died while ejecting during a dogfight with a Russian jet, though his partner, renegade pilot Maverick, survived.

A Horus guard headpiece from Roland Emmerich's sci-fi film Stargate. Horus guards wore their distinctive armour as they protected the Goa'uld Lord Ra (Jaye Davidson) from the human slaves around the great pyramid on the planet Abydos. The design was created by Primetime Emmy-nominated costume designer Joseph A. Porro, whose credits also include Independence Day and Tombstone. Inspiring the design of the Jaffa guards in the TV show spin-off Stargate SG-1, the helmets were later repurposed and worn by the guards of Ra's queen Hathor (Suanne Braun) and their son Heru'ur (Douglas Arthurs), most notably in the Season 2 episode "Thor's Chariot". The headpiece is made of foam rubber with rubber fins behind the head. It has been hand-painted to resemble tarnished and bronzed metals.

Inside is a helmet with foam lining to ensure a comfortable fit. A separate front section, also made of foam rubber, covers the mouth and attaches to the headpiece via Velcro strips. Two handwritten notes inside the helmet read "Stunt B" on pieces of tape, while "A" has been written directly onto the foam rubber. The face piece has "Stunt A" written inside it. The piece has some wear from production use and age. There are scuffs and scratches on the foam, as well as small sections of discolouration. The Velcro strips that hold the face piece to the rest of the item have begun to loosen.£15000-20000 M *Contains electronics; see electronics notice in the Buyer's Guide

A screen-matched Tantive IV stormtrooper helmet from George Lucas' Star Wars: A New Hope.The stormtrooper uniforms are just one of many indelible, iconic designs from the original trilogy, borne out of concept sketches by celebrated concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who worked directly with Lucas on the Imperial foot soldiers' appearance. The stormtrooper helmets created for the first Star Wars film were sculpted by artist Liz Moore and vacuum-formed by an outside vendor.This superb helmet is complete, unrestored from its original first-film finish, and screen-matches to the scene early in the movie where stormtroopers bring Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) to Darth Vader aboard the Rebel corvette Tantive IV. Unique characteristics in the textured finish of the paintwork, as well as the hand-cut teeth and eye openings, match the on-screen helmet exactly.Approximately 56 standard helmets were created for filming, constructed from high-density polyethylene, or HDPE, a material used at that time to line garden ponds. The helmets were then finished with a glossy white paint, and additional linework and vent details were painted by hand.The helmet's original aerators, or "mic tips", are in place, as is the original rubber trim at the brow and the underside opening. The interior features an elastic chinstrap, a yellow piece of foam padding, and a thin green plastic lens sheet. The name "Syd" is also marked on the interior of the helmet, likely for Syd Wragg, a stormtrooper actor on the film.The helmet has an interesting history: after production on A New Hope it was worn during a promotional event for The Empire Strikes Back held on 15 October 1978, called the Everdon Cross-Country Team Event. This unusual day saw Carrie Fisher, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, producers Gary Kurtz and Robert Watts, and other key members of the Star Wars team participating in an equestrian event on an estate property in the UK. Original props and set decoration were utilised for the event, including several original stormtrooper costumes. The helmet was gifted to the event's host, and includes a letter of authenticity from the original owner's family.Also included are six large black-and-white photographs from the Everdon event featuring Carrie Fisher on horseback, all of which are marked on the reverse with pen or pencil, providing details of the event, as well as a colour photograph of Princess Leia with stormtroopers on the Tantive IV, and eight additional photographs, some of which feature this helmet or a similar stormtrooper helmet, in an envelope hand-labelled "Mrs. R. Hawkins, Everdon Manor".The helmet and accompanying materials all exhibit signs of wear and age, including some chips to the paint and fraying to the helmet's straps. Some of the chips show evidence of touch-up work, which was done during production or at the time of the promotional event ۠no additional work has been done on the helmet since.Most stormtrooper helmets used in A New Hope were reconditioned for The Empire Strikes Back, which involved painting the grey "frown" (the distinctive mouth area) black. Helmets in original unrestored condition from A New Hope are exceedingly rare and just a few others exist in private collections. Additional information on the Everdon promotional event can be found at www.everdonstarwars.com.Dimensions: 38.25 cm x 38.25 cm x 40.75 cm (15" x 15" x 16")£120000-180000 Ω

An Elven warrior cloak, helmet and shield from Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings. The Elven army carried shields during the film's prologue, in which the Last Alliance of Elves and Men fought against the Dark Lord Sauron (Sala Baker) and his forces at the foot of Mount Doom. The Elves of Lorien wore helmets and cloaks at Helm's Deep, the climactic battle at the end of The Two Towers. The talented team at Weta Workshop created the costumes and armoury for the trilogy, winning Academy Awards for their work on The Return of the King. The shield is made of dense urethane and resembles a large leaf, detailed with spiral patterns and painted in a dark brown colour with gold-coloured highlights, giving it a mystical, earthy feel. The back includes a vertical metal grip painted brown to resemble wood. The helmet is made from flexible vinyl, decorated in metallic brown hues, with raised swirling patterns across the surface. A tall crest tapers down to the nose, and Velcro and elastic straps ensure a snug fit for the wearer. The grey-blue hooded cloak ties at the front below the chin. Traces of stage blood residue are present around the neck, and small slits have been made in the sides, most likely for stunts involving harnesses. There are light scuffs to the helmet and shield, and slight flaking to the paint above the cheeks on the helmet, but all of the components remain in very good condition .

Both illustrations are the work of the film's production designer, Ron Cobb, and are rendered in ink, graphite, and coloured pencil on a sheet of illustration paper labelled "THE YOUNG THULSA DOOM", "THULSA DOOM 1" and "128". The paper exhibits minor signs of wear, including pinholes in the corners. Dimensions: 41.5 cm x 33 cm (16 1/4" x 13")£1000-1500 Ω *Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide

A suit of armour worn by Mordred (Robert Addie) in John Boorman's Arthurian epic Excalibur. The grown-up Mordred wore his armour in battle against King Arthur (Nigel Terry) and his loyal knights after he challenged his father for the throne.Handmade in aluminium by legendary movie armourer Terry English, and finished in faux-gold spray paint, this was the only suit of elder-Mordred armour made for the film. The suit consists of a chest and back plate, arms, gauntlets, scaled skirt, leg and foot guards, and a chainmail neck piece. English made the instantly recognisable aluminium helmet after production for display purposes, as the original fibreglass version was lost. The armour is embellished with rivets, spikes and muscular definition and held together with leather straps and metal buckles.A number of unique marks on the chest and arms screen match the armour to that seen in the film. The set was used in countless stunts and action sequences, which left the suit with a number of scratches and repairs. Most notably, the breastplate was modified for the shot in which Mordred receives a mortal chest wound from Excalibur, and reshoots required English to repair the hole. The repair is visible on screen, as is €˜gold'-painted Gaffer tape attached to the lower left bicep. The suit exhibits the previously stated wear, as well as wear from age, including fragile leather straps and the absence of several scales from the skirt. The legs are marked "Eric" for use in a subsequent production.£10000-15000 M *Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide
