Thanks to my friend Darrin for parting with this, my Worf costume now has some ballast to weigh it down. This is one of those rare props that can actually be associated with a specific character and scene. After all, his name is right on the side!! As you may know by now, I am not big into props, but something like this is tough to pass up.
It is made out of solid resin with a fixed strap to enable any able-bodied Starfleet officer to don it.
When this prop was originally sold in the IAW auctions, there was a piece of tape covering the name. Talk about a surprise and a payday for Darrin when he peeled that layer back!!
a non-commercial collector of Star Trek costumes. I have been collecting since Christie's held the now-historic 40th anniversay auction, and I'm afraid to say, there is no end in sight. I collect on many different levels: love of the character, passion for the design of the costume, and an amazement at the materials and workmanship involved in the creation of such magnificent pieces of "art". I find that I am constantly drawn to the costumes from Star Trek Deep Space Nine since that series holds the most interest for me, but my collection represents most of the various series and films.
