Well done. Reply with quote 8. Thanks Josh. I really enjoyed the research side of this find as it incorporated a lot of what I learned from the game worn jersey authentication side of the business. I had a theory that it was worn in the first Flash Gordon movie, due to the presence of the appearance of the outline of the original starburst which was white for the first movie.

I could match the starburst to several screen shots of the Flash Gordon movie, but the chain link pattern on the front yoke did not match the movie. Upon closer inspection, although this is not confirmed yet, I have a theory that the original star burst of which the outline can be seen and the black front yoke which featured the chain link design was removed for the second, movie, Flash Gordon Trip to Mars along with the original starburst, which is the outline I am seeing For the 2nd movie, Flash wore a lighting bolt on the front of his costume.

Then, for the movie, Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, the lighting bolt was removed, the current starburst was re-added, and a new front yoke was applied, with the matching chain link which is consistent when you compare the examined tunic to the movie. If this is accurate, this would make it a costume worn by Buster Crabbe in the, movies.

You can probably tell that I am very excited to own this costume. Reply with quote 9. Reply with quote Good eye and nice catch regarding the Super Man usage. Search titles and first posts only.

How authentic are you looking for? Back in the day they filmed these serials in Black and White, so there was no acutal color to these costumes. They were made in shades of grey and chocolate browns.
