Description
The Adventures of Robin Hood (Warner Bros., 1938) Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone 7.75" x 9.75" Original Key Set Photograph by Homer Van Pelt. PSA/DNA Type 1. Vintage gelatin silver glossy borderless 7.75" x 9.75" studio release key set photograph of Errol Flynn as "Robin Hood" and Basil Rathbone as "Sir Guy of Gisbourne" in the climactic swordfight n The Adventures of Robin Hood by Homer Van Pelt, with credit wet stamp and full-wrap paper caption with sequence number #5 on the verso. The most celebrated and arduous swordfight in film history, the Olympian archetype shot over several days with exposed sword tips; this is the full pictorial account of the genre-defining duel, "AN ACTION STORY: TOLD IN PICTURES." Though Flynn carried the dramatic laurels in this and every film during his heyday, Rathbone was the greatest fencer in Hollywood, a two-time British Army Fencing Champion, commissioned as a lieutenant in the 2/10th Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment (Liverpool Scottish) as an intelligence officer, attaining the rank of captain, eventually becoming a mentor in swordsmanship to Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power.Sir Guy of Gisbourne: You've come to Nottingham once too often!
Robin Hood: When this is over, my friend, there'll be no need for me to come again.
Sir Guy of Gisbourne: Do you know any prayers, my friend?
Robin Hood: I'll say one for you!

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These auctions are presented only online and bidding is only taken through our website. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10:00 PM CST the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CST, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:03, the new end time for that lot would become 10:33. If no other bids were placed before 10:33, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding.
