accented suede jacket worn in the 2000 motion picture,"The Sixth Day". This varsity-style, loose-fitting
coat is very visible in numerous scenes of the film. Leather jackets from some of Arnold's other films,

valuable and desirable. A letter of authenticity, along with several photos of Arnold wearing the jackets,

A letter of authenticity from Warner Brothers is included with this lot. Screen-Worn Movie Costume from "Red Heat".

Other Turbo Man costumes have been offered for sale previously, but none have been as complete as this extraordinary specimen. This outfit was purchased directly from Sothebys Entertainment Rarities auction and includes a letter of authenticity. Additionally, an original "Jingle All The Way" - Turbo Man prop cereal box featuring Schwarzenegger's character, which can be clearly seen in the film, is included with this lot. This Turbo Man outfit is without a doubt the most intricate and highly detailed of any of Schwarzenegger's costumes from any film. Screen-Worn Black Leather Glove from "Terminator II". This is an actual motorcycle glove, in heavily distressed condition, worn by Arnold in the film that many consider to be his very best. The glove was obtained directly from a key wardrobe/prop supervisor many years ago, and is fitted on an original special effects hand mock-up display. It is known among collectors that T-II Arnold-worn material is some of the most sought after and most expensive from his films. Several of his jackets, for example, have brought over fifty thousand dollars at public auction. This is a rare opportunity for Schwarzenegger fans of more modest means to obtain a key piece of memorabilia for their collection. Screen-Worn Prop from "Junior". This is the original gold wedding ring worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger as Doctor Alex Hesse in the hit comedy "Junior", co-starring Danny DeVito. In the film, Schwarzenegger is a scientist who agrees to take part in a fertility research project and carry a pregnancy in his own body. From one of Arnold's better comedy films, this particular prop is clearly featured in numerous scenes. A letter of authenticity is included with this lot. Screen-Used Prop from "Terminator II". This custom-made oversized military ammo belt was created by a special effects artist for use in the 1991 blockbuster, "Terminator II". The belt, which can be seen prominently over Arnold's shoulder in numerous scenes of the film, was custom created and hand made, including the hand-forged metal buckle and hand-sewn bullet holders created to house the unique, oversized ammo the Terminator used. This particular artifact was obtained directly from a high-level employee on the film who was given the piece following the conclusion of filming. Included is an original signed letter of authenticity detailing the items history. Check out the ebay auction HERE! ----------
