Boba Fett Gauntlets

Holy moley! Nice score Art! .....and just in time, as im suculpting my gauntlets currently. May i PM you for more specific measurements? would love tol get mine as close to these as i can!
 
Here is the shot that sealed the deal for me. Because these are castings from the inside of the gauntlets, they essentially recreate the original molds... so the questions was whether or not the Casio MQ-1 would fit in the tray of the left gauntlet properly. As you can see from the photo below, the calc fits beautifully, with just a bit of room to spare all the way around... and that room is accounted for by the thickness of the vacuum formed shell, so the fit is essentially perfect!

Thanks for the kudos, guys! I am thrilled to own these but even more thrilled to be able to share them with you. I initially thought I wasn't going to be able to share that i had acquired them and that was really bumming me out, so I was completely stoked when Max said I could talk about them publicly. I think these are my most prized Boba Fett piece to date. I love my GMH helmet, but there are multiple castings of that helmet floating around, yet to the best of my knowledge, these are the ONLY gauntlets with lineage back to the originals!
 
I think that "battery" button is the battery door from the MQ-1, has the same little "box" around the word battery n all.... Check it out...

Hahahaha!! LOOK AT THAT!!! You would think that I would have been able to ID that (since I discovered the MQ-1 years and years ago), but it never even crossed my mind! GREAT find Darth Voorhees!!! I will pull out my MQ-1 today and snap a photo of the two together!
