Proto-stormtrooper helmet.

Blackman Cruz is currently offering this "1930s Italian Wooden Science Fiction Film Prop" as part of their collection. I'm sure they've had it authenticated, but I'm at a loss as to what film this was from. The resemblance to some of the pre-production designs from "Star Wars" is quite amazing.

The helmet is on display at http://www.blackmancruz.com/inventory/art-objects/wooden-prop

If it was made in Italy in the 30s, it's probably sci-fascism :lol

Looks cool. Looks like bookends.
