A gorilla soldier costume from Ted Post's sci-fi adventure sequel Beneath the Planet of the Apes. An astronaut (James Franciscus) on a rescue mission encountered groups of super intelligent ape soldiers after he landed on a version of Earth from far in the future.

This costume consists of a dark brown ribbed vinyl vest with snap buttons, a purple canvas shirt, and matching pair of purple canvas pants. The costume also includes a brown and black leather and canvas shoulder sling with pouches, a pair of gloves, and a pair of leather boots, each of which have an ape-foot shaped toe box. The tag on the vest displays the production number "2954-2," while the pants display the number "2954-3." The lot shows signs of wear from age and use, including minor damage to the shoulder elements, including scuffing on the vest and cracking on the gloves, but remains in good overall condition.
