This item was identified by Linwood Mielke from Elkhart, Indiana.
According to the Christie's Catalogue, this is:
LOT 974 - NILZ BARIS' SUIT FROM "THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES"
A two-piece business suit comprising: a dark grey/green men's jacket with Velcro front closure and matching pants -- worn by William Schallert as Nilz Baris in "The Trouble With Tribbles" in Star Trek: The Original Series
Estimate:
$3000-5000
Linwood was in very quickly with his identification, with the disclaimer, "This one I doubt
I'll be first because it's from one of the most known episodes ever!"
Ross R. Vincent from Arlington, Texas also got in very quickly with the comment, "The most boring
of future looking suits, or further proof that the future is in desperate need for a visit from
the guys from Queer Eye for the Star Trek Guy." Roy Benjamin Snyder, Sr. from Otsego, Michigan quoted Baris from the episode: "Captain! What about MY GRAIN!?!"
Several people suggested it might be the suit Hengist wore in "Wolf in the Fold." Others mentioned Data or Geordi's suit in "All Good Things...", Mr. Homn or John Frederick Paxton. A couple of folks
had the right episode, but thought the suit was worn by Arne Darvin.
