Private Crowe's (Tip Tipping) USCM armor with a screen-matched shirt and Corporal Dietrich's (Cynthia Scott Dale) screen-matched pants from James Cameron's Aliens. Crowe was one of the Colonial Marines deployed to Hadley's Hope alongside Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) on a mission to investigate the sudden loss of contact with the colony, only to discover xenomorphs had overrun the settlement and created a hive. The film is considered one of the greatest sequels of all time and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning two.

Designed by Emma Porteous and constructed by master armorer Terry English, this lot consists of Crowe's USCM body armor, helmet, and screen-matched camouflage fatigues. Approximately three sets of armor were made for each character during production. This set of armor is an excellent example of original USCM gear, retaining all its original webbing, interior padding, and rear bracket hardware, with only the vinyl neck trim missing from the front. Constructed in hand-formed aluminum and painted with a camouflage pattern, it features distinctive hand-painted personalization, including "The Bird" flanked by wings on the chest and a skull and crossbones on the back. The chest plate is stenciled with "Crowe" and has "Tipping 2" handwritten in black ink inside.

The included helmet is a generic USCM example without a name stenciled on the back. It may have been used for stunts during filming. The interior features a cut-out for a drop-down eyepiece-though the eyepiece itself is not present-and the camera lens on the right side is also missing.

The screen-matched camouflage shirt corresponds to the scene in which the Marines prepare to drop into the colony, while the pants match the moment when Corporal Dietrich examines Newt (Carrie Henn) after she's found hiding in the air vents. Both items match through their distinctive camouflage patterns. The shirt has "Tipping", and the pants have "Dietrich" handwritten on the costume labels. All the pieces have been intentionally distressed to appear well-worn and battle-damaged.

Estimate: $40,000 - 80,000
