This forearm shield was created by the production for use by Kirk Douglas as "Spartacus" during the 1960 film. The vintage original 11" round forearm shield is constructed of cast fiberglass and ornamented with integral studs. The back of the shield is padded with heavy black rubber backing and features a leather grip strap attached to metal brackets, though one side is detached. Handwritten on the leather grip strap is, "KIRK D.". The prop was gifted to stuntman Thane Cornell, who worked on Spartacus for a year and half and who is reputed to have been killed over 18 times for production. Exhibiting age, production wear, rubbing and surface loss to the face, but in vintage good condition. From the personal collection of Thane Cornell.

The item(s) may have varying levels of wear and/or studio distressing, please see the listing images for exact condition.
