GLADIATOR (2000) - Production-Made General Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) Armor Components - A set of production-made General Maximus Decimus Meridius (Russell Crowe) armor components from Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Maximus wore his armored cuirass and helmet when he surveyed his troops and met with the Emperor (Richard Harris) following the battle of Germania. This version of the cuirass was made for production but was unfinished and ultimately not seen in the film.

This lot consists of one helmet, a cuirass with front and back piece, and a brown woven waffle-pattern tunic. Made of fiberglass, both the helmet and chest armor were painted to resemble bronze and feature silver-color embellishments of a wolf's head. The chest features two gryphons and swirling feather laurels. The sides of the helmet display moveable cheek guards and a brown synthetic-hair plume fin on the top. The cuirass features cord ties on the sides and leather tabs on the shoulders. This lot exhibits scuffing on the fiberglass; chipped and flaking paint; notable adhesive residue on the fin; discoloration on the tunic; and pulled threads.

Estimate: $25,000 - 50,000
