Star Trek TOS Finnegan Silver Tunic from "Shore Leave"

Presented below are some detailed photos of a rare Starfleet Silver tunic worn by actor Bruce Mars in his role as Finnegan in the highly memorable and entertaining 1st Season TOS episode "Shore Leave" (first airdate: Dec. 29, 1966). This beautiful tunic features studio applied distress in the form of a tear by the rear right shoulder seam which can be screen matched to the fight scene between Kirk and Finnegan in "Shore Leave". Tunics of this style; traditionally referred to as cadet tunics, also made appearances on-screen in the 2nd season Star Trek: The Original Series episodes "Wolf In The Fold" and "The Trouble With Tribbles". Some screenshots from "Shore Leave" that document Bruce Mars wearing this particular tunic, as well as photos of other silver tunics in TOS are presented after the modern day images.

Special thanks to Star Trek collector Adam of New York for his gracious permission to display the numerous photos presented below of this outstanding costume. It should be noted that photography credits are due to the exceptional team at The Prop Store of London - Los Angeles (http://www.propstore.com); always a fine source for premium screen-used entertainment memorabilia.
