Is this the ultimate Christmas present or a novel form of investment?

It could be the ultimate Christmas present to top off a terrible year or it could be an investment with a real difference.

But if you have £120,000 to spend you could snap up the lightsabre used by Scottish actor Ewan McGregor in Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith.

Or if not that how about Tom Cruise’s Top Gun bomber jacket or Julia Roberts’ Pretty Woman boots.

They are all part of more than 900 items of movie and TV memorabilia up for grabs during an auction in December.

Bond’s MI6 training suit, worn by Daniel Craig in Skyfall , has a £20,000 estimate.

The boots worn by screen star Roberts in Pretty Woman could fetch £15,000 and Cruise’s bomber jacket from Top Gun has a £16,000 estimate.

Michael J. Fox’s jacket from Back To The Future Part II could fetch £15,000.

Items together worth more than £4.4m will be auctioned by Prop Store in December.

Other highlights include Johnny Depp’s pirate hat from Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides , and the special effects mechanical alien head from 1979 film Alien.

Fans can also get their hands on Tom Hanks’ cast-autographed helmet from Saving Private Ryan , Russell Crowe’s stunt arena shield from Gladiator and Robin Williams’ costume from Hook .

Jack Nicholson’s fedora from his Joker role in Batman , David Bowie’s crystal ball from Labyrinth, Brad Pitt’s red leather jacket from Fight Club and Madonna’s hat from Evita are also in the sale.

Prop Store chief executive Stephen Lane said the items are “a fantastic collection of over 900 artefacts for movie fans to get excited about”.

Prop Store’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction takes place over two days on 1 and 2 December.
