Perhaps the single item that most differentiated Faramir from his comrades was his ornate and beautifully styled helmet. Instantly indicating his position of importance within the Gondorian army, and his noble lineage. Faramir wore his helmet, embossed with the royal tree of Gondor, while leading the ill fated charge to retake the Capital city of Osgiliath at the behest of his father Denethor. This urethane version of Faramir’s helmet was created from molds taken from the original hero helmet made by the armory department at Weta Workshop during production of The Lord of the Rings trilogy (New Line Cinema, 2001, 2002, 2003). This lightweight version of the ornate helm was hand painted and weathered and this style would have been used for the safety and comfort of actor David Wenham during the many elaborate combat sequences. This prop was part of the collection of authentic production-created movie props procured by official New Line Cinema licensee, United Cutlery directly from Weta Workshop and Three Foot Six Productions between 1999-2004 for reference in producing a collectible replica version for fans of the film franchise. The helmet has a Weta logo, reference number, date, and notation of the recipient and project engraved into it. 12 by 8 inches PROVENANCE Accompanied by a detailed certificate of authenticity from the licensee confirming the history of this production made prop and its use in creating United Cutlery’s Lord of the Rings Weapons and Armor line of rep
