News item

[Raffles]

Just thought I'd let everyone know that there is currently an item on rotation on Sky news (UK at least) today about a sale of props at bonhams London (Obi ANH cloak, Moff Tarkin's Uniform and some bits from supergirl and Robin hood Price of thieves). Some nice panning shots. Anyone with a HD subscription able to get any decent screen caps?

Just a word of warning.....very, VERY problematic items in this auction.

You know, in case anyone's interested. :thumbsup

I am not a Star Wars costume pro, but is that even the right material?

Lots of interesting items in that auction.

I noticed some interesting similarities between the Imperial Officer from Star Wars and A German WWI military jacket from Blue Max. They were made by the same tailor, and the pattern is almost the same.

I noticed also Sirious Black's overcoat from Harry Potter, for £13'000, and a Dr Who costume for £20'500.

Also, some suits from less popular movies were sold for not much more than a new tailored suit would cost. Sometimes less.
