| Nichelle Nichols "Lt. Uhura" duty uniform from Star Trek: The Original Series | |
| (NBC-TV, 1966-69) Signature red velour duty uniform dress with black scoop neck collar and an original "engineering" Starfleet insignia patch at the left breast. Because of the way the uniform is tailored (with the zipper closure over the left breast), this duty uniform dates from early in the first season, as Ms. Nichols' uniforms were re-designed shortly thereafter as it was difficult for her to get in and out of the dress. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Nichelle Nichols, as well as a color photograph signed by Ms. Nichols in her Starfleet uniform. One of the rarest of the Enterprise crew uniforms, this is the first Lt. Uhura duty uniform from the original series we've ever encountered, and is one of only two known to have survived. A rare and highly desirable uniform from one of the most important and influential science-fiction TV/film series of all time. | |
