LETHAL WEAPON (1987) - Martin Riggs' (Mel Gibson) Screen-Matched Bulletproof Vest - Martin Riggs' (Mel Gibson) screen-matched bulletproof vest from Richard Donner's Lethal Weapon. Riggs wore his vest under his clothing when he was suddenly shot in a drive-by by Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey) with a Remington 870 with an extended magazine tube. This vest screen-matches to when Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) checked Riggs for a pulse and discovered he was wearing his bulletproof vest as a precaution. The vest screen-matches to the identifiable positions of the bullet holes, as well as the smudge marks near the lowest bottom hole and the curved smudge across the chest.

This lot consists of an off-white cotton faux bulletproof vest with blue foam padding and off-white elastic fastening straps on the sides and shoulders. This vest is marked "M.G. #1" and "#1" with internal pockets along the bottom edge and the front covered with bullet holes. This bulletproof vest exhibits grime throughout.

Estimate: $4,000 - 8,000
