Captain Jack Sparrow's (Johnny Depp) and Angelica's (Penelope Cruz) wig and bandana from the Pirates of the Carribean film series. This wig was first worn by Johnny Depp as the infamous Jack Sparrow in the second Pirates of the Carribean movie, Dead Man's Chest. The longer blond extensions adhered to the ends of some of the wig's dreadlocks were added for the second and third films. The patterning on the wig's attached bandana is specific to the fourth film, On Stranger Tides, in which it was repurposed and worn by Angelica when she disguised herself as the trickster pirate.
Made of synthetic hair, the wig primarily comprises brown and black dreadlocks of varying lengths. Incorporated into the hair are strings of beads and trinkets, added to symbolise Sparrow's worldwide adventures. These include a plastic reindeer sail bone, a piece of eight, and a long strand of resin beads featuring a stunt version of a Kuchi pendant. Several dreadlocks have strands of multi-coloured fabric tied around their lower lengths.
The red bandana is made of thin cotton, which features a blue printed floral design all over. A large braided plait laced with brown cord is located at the back of the wig and sits atop the bandana. The wig displays minor signs of production use, including loose threads, fraying on the strands of fabric, and stray hairs from handling.

The balance will then be split over 1, 2 or 3 months per the Buyer’s selection. If the 1 month option is selected, the remaining balance on the Lot will be due 30 days after the deposit date. If the 2 month option is selected, half of the remaining balance will be due 30 days after the deposit date and the remaining half 30 days after that, and so on.
7.4. Prop Store offers no grace period on payment plan deadlines. If the Buyer does not adhere to payment deadline as agreed under the terms of the payment plan, the Buyer will have defaulted. In the event of default all funds already paid to Prop Store will be forfeited by the Buyer, and title of the Lot will not transfer to Buyer. Prop Store and the Seller shall also be entitled to all remedies for non-payment as described below and at law.
7.5. Title in the Lot will pass to Buyer and the Lot will be made available for collection by the Buyer only when Prop Store is completely satisfied that all monies owing have been paid in full.
7.6. Payment must be in Pounds Sterling and may be made by electronic transfer, debit card, credit card (up to a maximum of £25,000) bankers draft or cash (up to a maximum of £5,000). Please quote the Lot number, invoice number and Bidder registration number when making payment to ensure it can be processed as efficiently as possible.
7.7. Credit card payments are only acceptable on the express understanding that the Lot is not returnable, refundable nor exchangeable and no charge card credit or refund may be issued in the event of any such return. If payment is made by credit card, Buyer will not undertake any action or effort to stop payment, seek a refund, or attempt a charge back of such amounts – or any Credit Card Fee assessed thereon – by the issuer of the credit card.

Lots can be collected in person by appointment only.
7.14. Each Lot will require a custom packing service and by bidding on a Lot a Bidder agrees to pay all relevant shipping costs.

7.15. Prop Store recommends working with its preferred third-party independent freight agent Precision Cargo on any questions regarding importing and exporting Lots.
7.16. Although Prop Store shall use reasonable efforts to take care when selecting third parties for these purposes, the Buyer will contract directly with such third party and Prop Store accepts no liability or responsibility for the acts or omissions of any such third parties. Similarly, where Prop Store suggests other handlers, packers or carriers, its suggestions are made on the basis of its general experience of such parties in the past and Prop Store is not responsible to any person to whom it has made a recommendation for the acts or omissions of the third party concerned.
7.17. It is the Buyer’s sole obligation and responsibility to be aware of, to comply with, and to pay for all relevant import duties, taxes, VAT, customs and other fees charged in the Buyer’s local jurisdiction. Prop Store will ship all packages with the full value of the Lot declared. Buyer understands and agrees that Prop Store shall have no obligation or responsibility for any import duties, taxes, VAT, customs, shipping or other charges for the Lots shipped. Failure by the Buyer to pay all necessary amounts may result in the relevant authorities returning the Lot to Prop Store and in those circumstances the Buyer will be charged and will pay storage cost and Prop Store’s additional reasonable costs and expenses.
7.18. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that any Lot purchased from Prop Store enters the shipping location lawfully, that all duties and taxes have been paid and that all required export procedures, regulations, and laws were properly complied with. Buyer understands and agrees that Prop Store shall have no obligation or responsibility for complying with any export procedures, regulations, or laws applicable to the Lot.
7.19. Unless otherwise agreed by Prop Store in writing, the fact that the Buyer wishes to apply for an export licence does not affect or postpone the Buyer’s obligation to make payment in accordance with Prop Store’s payment terms nor Prop Store’s right to charge interest or storage charges on late payment. If the Buyer requests Prop Store to apply for an export licence on his or her behalf, Prop Store shall be entitled to make a charge and be paid for this service. Prop Store shall not be obliged to rescind or cancel a sale nor to refund any monies paid by the Buyer to Prop Store as a result of or related to the Buyer’s failure or inability to obtain an export license.
7.20. Where Lots are not collected within 14 calendar days from the due date of payment, whether or not payment has been made, a storage fee of 3% of the Hammer Price per month shall be charged to the Buyer.

10. Terms of Guarantee of Attribution
10.1. Prop Store warrants the attribution of each Lot as stated in the title block (film title and item title) of that Lot in the Auction catalogue, subject to any revisions (which may be given in writing or online before or during the Auction at which the Lot is purchased by the Buyer); this is Prop Store's Guarantee of Attribution. 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 piece has been used on-camera. Any specific on-camera usage known to Prop Store will be noted within the description, but no warranties are given by Prop Store on that description.
10.2. If a Buyer demonstrates, to Prop Store’s reasonable satisfaction, that the Guarantee of Attribution is materially incorrect, the sale will be rescinded if the Lot is returned to Prop Store in the same condition in which it was at the time of sale. In order to satisfy Prop Store that the Guarantee of Attribution is materially incorrect, Prop Store reserves the right to require the Buyer to obtain, at the Buyer’s expense, the opinion of two experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Prop Store and the Buyer.
10.3. In the event a sale is rescinded in accordance with condition 10.2, Prop Store shall repay to the Buyer the Purchase Price. Repayment of the Purchase Price shall be the Buyer’s sole remedy for an incorrect Guarantee of Attribution, to the exclusion of all other remedies to the extent permissible at law. It is specifically understood that this will be considered the Buyer’s sole remedy under this clause 10.
10.4. The Buyer expressly agrees that Prop Store 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.
10.5. Bidders are aware that description revisions may occur on some Lots, and should inquire before the Auction whether any description revisions have occurred on a given Lot and/or examine a lot before bidding on it. Prop Store will make all reasonable efforts to make description revisions readily available during the Auction.
10.6. Except as expressly provided in these Conditions Prop Store 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.
11. Intellectual property rights
11.1. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Prop Store relating to a Lot (including the contents of the Auction catalogue), is and shall remain at all times the property of Prop Store and shall not be used by the Buyer, nor by anyone else, without Prop Store’s written consent. Prop Store and the Seller make no representation or warranty that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction rights in it.
11.2. In the catalogue descriptions, Prop Store takes steps to identify and provide provenance for Lots offered at auction. In many cases, the Lots offered were used in or in conjunction with motion pictures or other programmes and information is furnished in order to fully identify and describe the Lot offered at Auction, including photographs and illustrations. Prop Store in no way claims any connection to or relationship with the producers of the motion picture or other programme. In all cases, the use of the titles or other elements of a motion picture or other programme is for informational purposes only.
12. Events outside our control

Prop Store’s obligations shall be suspended and time for performance extended until such time as the event outside it’s control is over, following which a new collection or shipping date can be agreed.
13. Other important terms
13.1. If any part of these Conditions is found by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that part shall be discounted and the rest of the Conditions shall continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13.2. The contract is between the Seller, Buyer and Prop Store and no other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
13.3. If Prop Store fails to insist on performance of any of a Buyer’s obligations under these Conditions, or if it delays in doing so, that will not mean that Prop Store has waived its rights against the Buyer and does not mean the Buyer no longer has to comply with those obligations.
13.4. These Conditions are governed by English law, without regard to its choice of law provisions. The Parties agree that any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with this agreement or its subject matter or formation may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction located in England or Wales or, alternatively, in any court of competent jurisdiction where Prop Store or the Bidder/Buyer resides, at the option of the Party bringing the claim, only.
