FLASH GORDON (1980) - Red Guard Costume with Blaster and Screen-Matched Mask - A Red Guard costume with a blaster and a screen-matched mask from Mike Hodges' Flash Gordon. Red Guards wore their long red robes and pig-like gas masks as they patrolled Ming the Merciless' (Max von Sydow) palace with their blasters. Distinctive blemishes on this mask's snout screen-match to when Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) attacks a guard during her escape.

This costume consists of one rigid mask composed of red textured fabric and red felt with wire lining and mesh eye sockets; and one red robe made of matching textured fabric with a belt wrapped in black vinyl. The interior of the belt is hand-marked for "Norge CPT B. Hesketh" over a "G. Cooper" and a secondary "B. Hesketh" on the interior of the buckle. A pair of red stretch sateen gloves and red pleather boots were added to complete the costume. The black-painted blaster is made of fiberglass and decorated with gold-color foil with a webbed nylon strap. This lot exhibits chipped and flaked paint, staining inside the mask, and splitting at the back of the blaster. Dimensions: (blaster) 26" x 2.75" x 9.5" (66 cm x 7 cm x 24 cm)

Ownership may be restricted in some countries; see replica firearm notice in Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $7,000 - 14,000
