Description

James Doohan "Scotty" Starfleet duty uniform tunic from Star Trek: The Original Series. James Doohan "Scotty" Starfleet duty uniform tunic from Star Trek: The Original Series. (Paramount TV, 1966-1969) This velour Starfleet operations division tunic was worn in the second season by James Doohan as Chief Engineer "Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott" in Star Trek: The Original Series and features the original Starfleet insignia on the chest. No interior label is present (typical for tunics from the series), though the subtle marks in the velour indicate single-row with "dashes" (lieutenant commander rank) braid that was applied to each sleeve making this a "Scotty" (the Chief Engineer was the only crewmember aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise who wore this rank in the red operations division). Braiding was always removed by the studio prior to dry cleaning. Exhibits a minor half-inch tear in the back (could be easily repaired); otherwise, in very good production used condition with vibrant color. This is the only known second season Doohan "Scotty" tunic to come to auction. A rare, signature costume from one of the most revered characters of this groundbreaking science fiction series.
