296. Ingrid Bergman battle helmet from Joan of Arc, together with an original insert poster. (RKO, 1948) Original hand-tooled aluminum helmet of medieval styling, with leather side dressing from the temple and around the lower edge of the neck. The face mask, which features two small slits for eyes and small breathing perforations on the right side of the mouth/nose, was designed with hinges which allowed the mask to be swiveled upwards, revealing the refined facial features of the beautiful star, Ingrid Bergman. Internally, the crown is lined in leather, which is covered in felt (since deteriorated). This armored helmet worn by Bergman in the title role is a wonderful relic from Hollywood's golden age – the crowning piece of the Ingrid Bergman hero costume, from the film that justly deserved the Motion Picture Academy's very first award for Costume Design. $4,000 - $6,000
