The T-800's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) bullet-riddled jacket from James Cameron's sci-fi action sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day with a Letter of Authenticity handwritten by Linda Hamilton. The T-800 wore his iconic leather jacket throughout the film, including when it took heavy fire from the police in a teargas-filled hallway of the Cyberdyne Systems building. There are shots in the film that likely feature this exact jacket based on the squib holes and other markings; however, the detail visible onscreen is not clear enough to establish the screen-match conclusively.

This black leather jacket was originally purchased at a charity event in Long Beach, California, shortly after the film's release. It features metal zippers and snaps, bullet holes throughout, and black tape covering some of the holes. Its interior lining is affixed via fastening strips, rather than sewn in, to allow production to install and rig squibs.

This jacket is intentionally distressed by production with scuffs, tears, grime, stiffening leather, and tears throughout the lining, as well as tape residue from pieces of black tape placed over squib hits to alter the look for continuity or be blown open when a squib was detonated. Also included is a handwritten LOA from Hamilton.

Estimate: £20,000 - 30,000 Ω
