Pvt. Spunkmeyer's (Daniel Kash) photo-matched dropship helmet and flightsuit from James Cameron's sci-fi action sequel Aliens. Dropship crew chief Spunkmeyer wore his jumpsuit and helmet while co-piloting "Bug Stomper" with Corporal Ferro (Colette Hiller) as it transported a group of Colonial Marines to investigate missing colonists on LV-426. Distinctive markings on the left side of the forehead plate photo-match the helmet to a production photo of Kash.

The dropship helmet was based on a real-world military helmet that was dressed with scratch-built detail pieces to make it appear futuristic, including a series of camera-like accents on the front and sides as well as a dropdown helmet and a microphone detail complete with audio plug. The helmet has a custom-made front plate with two vertical tracks; one track has its camera-assembly still mounted, the other track is missing the original dressing component seen in the film. This exact helmet was also featured in the book Aliens: Colonial Marines Technical Manual, published in 1996.

The coverall aircrew MK. 11 zip-up jumpsuit is affixed with several patches, including a U.S. Colonial Marines patch and a "SPUNKMEYER" name tag on the right breast. It exhibits some wear and scuffing on the helmet and partial separation of one of the patches on the jumpsuit. The helmet-mounted sight underwent sympathetic restoration.

Estimate: $30,000 - 50,000
