Description
Shatner # 1 - Main filming costume; 30 years old - all older Kirk screen worn costumes are TOS; Only Star Trek I Kirk Class A ever auctioned! Impeccable provenance from ItsAWrap - licensed seller for Paramount/CBS Worn by William Shatner upon reprising his role as James T. Kirk in the very first Star Trek feature film that was produced; filmed less than 10 years after the end of production of The Original Series, this costume is part of the Gurian Collection and was obtained with impeccable provenance directly from the Paramount/CBS representative for Star Trek memorabilia sales – ItsAWrap LLC. As the first scene of Star Trek: TMP was filmed on the afternoon of August 7, 1978; this costume is 30 years old in 2008 and is, I believe, the only Kirk Class A Uniform ever offered at auction. (The famous Christies 40th Anniversary Star Trek auction featured a Spock Class A, a McCoy Class A and a Scotty Class A, as well as a Kirk Class D jumpsuit from TMP; but not a Kirk Class A.) It contains a Western Costume Company sewn-in label which states William Shatner’s name, Chest & Sleeve measurements and denotes the Costume as Number 1 (with a roman numeral nomenclature) – which I believe identifies it as the main filming version. The interior of the uniform top exhibits frayed lining; there are minor signs of distress or fraying on the outside arms (along seam lines); and the pant cuffs are frayed – however, the overall garment displays well and is an excellent color match to some screenshots presented below. The wrinkling of fabric along the neckline in particular matches a closeup view of Shatner in-costume in the Enterprise 1701 Captain’s Chair. The pants contain a sewn-in Paramount label; however, there is no writing legible on the label. The tunic and pants were accompanied by an unattached plastic biomonitor, that is loosely held in place at present by several strands of thread and may be easily removed. Perhaps the most desirable screen worn Shatner item next to an authentic TOS Kirk tunic; and perhaps of greater rarity since multiple TOS Shatner tunics have sold at auction over the years. Certainly a unique and historic Star Trek collectible. Please feel free to visit this webpage http://startrekpropauthority.blogspot.com/2008/04/special-photostudy-admiral-kirk.html where you will see many additional detailed photographs of this item. (And many articles of interest on Star Trek prop and costume authentication.) Note: A Kirk Starfleet Uniform of the maroon style seen in Star Trek II onwards sold in the Christies 40th Anniversary auction as lot 844 for $28,800; and 40 year old TOS costumes worn by the major stars have realized $40,000 - $100,000 at auction.
