Have you always wanted to own the helmet worn by Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy? You now have the chance to get your hands on the iconic helmet worn by David Prowse in The Empire Strikes Back as the prop is currently up for auction.

The infamous headgear has been listed on iCollector and it reportedly boasts of Prowse's signature. The description reads as follows:

Unfortunately, the helmet isn't in pristine condition. It has "some chipping on lower edges and right 'cheek' from production use" as well as "remnants of adhesive used to attach the mask to the helmet are still present on the interior." Nevertheless, it's an original and is considered "the Holy Grail of science fiction artifacts."

Eager to get your hands on the helmet? Just be advised that bidding starts at $250,000. It's a hefty price tag but you'll be the proud owner of the real Vader helmet. So if I had an extra $250,000 just lying around, you know where I'm going to spend it.
