STAR TREK: TNG “POST ATOMIC HORROR SOLDIER COSTUME” FROM “ENCOUNTER AT FARPOINT”

A costume featured in the premiere episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, “Encounter at Farpoint”; wherein the crew of the “Enterprise-D” is challenged by “Q” (John DeLancie) to solve the mystery of Farpoint Station. This costume is that of the soldier who is shot and killed in front of “Captain Picard” (Patrick Stewart) and the crew, it consists of a heavy, reinforced, black vest featuring a silver-colored “chainmail” pattern, and several pockets on left side with Velcro closures that are made to look as if they are being used. Also included are arm, leg, and lower torso armor of the same design, matching gloves and a padded helmet that covers all but the front of the face. All items have minor wear due to time and storage and an original costumer’s tag that reads ‘Chuck Hicks, Officer’.
