Original USO style shield used inn the production of the hit 2011 Marvel Studios superhero film Captain America: The First Avenger. It is 1941 and the world is in the throes of war. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) wants to do his part and join America's armed forces, but the military rejects him because of his small stature. Finally, Steve gets his chance when he is accepted into an experimental program that turns him into a supersoldier called Captain America. Joining forces with Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) and Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Captain America leads the fight against the Nazi-backed HYDRA organization.
Chris Evans wielded this original USO shield prop in his role as "Steve Rogers / Captain America”. Crafted from a combination of resin and fiberglass, the shield features faux leather straps on the back for secure arm fastening. Its weight and high-quality construction suggest it was likely employed as a rigid stunt prop for specific scenes. This particular shield makes appearances during Captain America's on-stage performances as "The Star-Spangled Man," showcasing the iconic stars and stripes synonymous with Captain America's costume. Additionally, Captain America utilizes this style of shield in intense battles against Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) and the forces of Hydra. This lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Studio Auctions.

These Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Conditions”) set out the legal relationship between the
Bidder/Buyer and Studio Auctions and the Seller. By applying for Bidder registration and by
placing a bid at our auction, a Bidder is deemed to have read and accepted to be bound by
these Conditions. Studio Auctions acts as agent for the Seller. Online bidding at our
auctions is made available via third party service providers and use of their services and all
online bidding is subject to their respective terms of use.
When making a bid, every Bidder acknowledges that such bid is a binding offer to buy the
Lot at that price (plus the Buyer’s Premium and other expenses reasonably related to the
Lot e.g. shipping and taxes). Estimates are simply a guide and should not be relied upon
as to advice on value or the ultimate Purchase Price, which could be significantly higher.
A commission of 25% (plus taxes if applicable) of the Hammer Price for a Lot, is payable by
the Buyer to Studio Auctions in addition to the purchase price and any other expenses
reasonably related to the lot. The buyer is responsible for all fees including duties, taxes,
customs and other charges for items shipped and to make shipping arrangements. Buyer
understands and agrees that Studio Auctions shall have no obligation or responsibility for
complying with any export procedures, regulations, or laws applicable to the property.
Studio Auctions will notify successful Bidders and send (by email) a payment invoice setting
out the Purchase Price and itemising the Hammer Price, Buyer’s Premium and other
expenses reasonably related to the Lot that the buyer is responsible for within 7 working
days of the end of the Auction. Payment is due within 7 working days from receipt of
invoice. Payment must be in U.S. funds and shall be made by electronic transfer. Credit
cards and debit are not accepted. That said, by registering for this auction the Buyer
authorizes Studio Auctions to charge the credit card provided at registration for all Lots
purchased at the auction, and any future auction a Bidder may participate in, if not paid in
full within 7 calendar days after the auction close.
Risk and responsibility for the Lot passes to the Buyer seven calendar days from the date of
the sale or on collection by the Buyer if earlier and the Buyer should arrange insurance to
cover for the Lot if required. The Buyer shall collect purchased Lots within 7 calendar days
from the date of the sale unless otherwise agreed. Lots must be collected from the Postal
Annex in Agoura Hills, California unless the Buyer makes arrangements with the Postal
Annex to have the Postal Annex ship the item(s) to the Buyer. The Postal Annex is a well
recognized shipper of auction items; however, Studio Auctions is not responsible for any
errors or omissions on the part of Postal Annex.
In the event of default by the Buyer, Studio Auctions may take one or more of the following
actions: hold the Buyer liable for the total amount due and commence legal proceedings for
its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law; cancel the sale; resell the Lot publicly or privately on such terms as Studio
Auctions shall think fit; set off against any amounts which Studio Auctions may owe to the
Buyer in any other transactions, some or all of the outstanding amount remaining unpaid by
the Buyer; apply any amount paid to discharge any amount owed in respect of any particular
transaction, whether or not the Buyer so directs.
The nature and age of the Lots means they are often unique and are likely to have wear and
tear and damage. By making a bid, the Bidder accepts the actual condition of the Lot. Studio
Auctions will make all reasonable efforts to make any description revisions readily available
during the Auction. Except as expressly provided in these Conditions Studio Auctions shall
have no liability to the Buyer in respect of a Lot and all and any implied warranties and
conditions are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. Buyers should be aware that
multiple examples of props and costumes are frequently used during production and it is
often impossible to determine whether a specific prop has been used on-camera. If a Buyer
demonstrates, to Studio Auction’s reasonable satisfaction, that an item is not authentic or a
description is materially incorrect, the sale will be rescinded if the Lot is returned to Studio
Auctions in the same condition in which it was at the time of sale. Repayment of the
Purchase Price and Buyer’s premium shall be the Buyer’s sole remedy, to the exclusion of
all other remedies to the extent permissible at law. The Buyer expressly agrees that Studio
Auction shall not be liable in whole or in part, for, and the Buyer shall not be entitled to
recover, any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages including loss of profits or
value of investment or opportunity cost.
The Auction will be recorded and tracked on a video or digital screen and photographs
taken. By participating in and/or attending the Auction and signing the registration form, each
person consents to be filmed and/or photographed and agrees and authorizes Studio
Auctions to use and publish such film and/or photographs, name and likeness for any use
Studio Auction deems appropriate.
If any part of these Conditions is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
These Conditions are governed by California law and all parties agree to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the California courts.
