Lot 72 The Ambassadors of Death Space Helmet
A space helmet used in the Jon Pertwee
Doctor Who adventure
The Ambassadors of Death. This helmet and others like it were worn by the astronauts on board Mars Probe 7 who were taken by an alien race and replaced by alien duplicates.
Originally made for the sci-fi film
Moon Zero Two (1969), the helmets were later used in many subsequent productions, most notably
Doctor Who. The helmet is made of fibreglass and features a clear plastic visor and a foam lining. It is finished in an off-white paint scheme and the neck ring has a foil appliqué to give the appearance of metal.
Well-used, the helmet retains much of its original finish with only minor scuffs and cracks to the paint finish and visor. The piece remains in good condition. Dimensions: 32 cm x 28 cm x 31 cm (12½” x 11” x 12¼”)
Estimate £1,000-1,500
Sold for £1,700
