The Gauntlet Original Lobby set from former Yugoslavia

The former Yugoslavia is the territory that was up to 25 June 1991 known as The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). Specifically, the six republics that made up the federation - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia (including the regions of Kosovo and Vojvodina) and Slovenia.

Film memorabilia from the former Yugoslavia has become more popular in recent decades, and because of its history, has started to find its place with collectors. I have several Eastwood posters from the 70s and 80s and can be found on these pages. However, Lobby cards or sets are a little harder to find. Friend of the Archive Steve Saragossi, sent me this set from The Gauntlet (1977) that he had spotted on the internet. I took a little time to restore them to some degree as I thought they would be nice to save here. As Steve pointed out, a lot of these photos, whilst looking familiar at first glance, do have some subtle differences. For this reason, I certainly think they deserve a place here for all to enjoy. The size of this set are 17 x 24 cm. Many thanks Steve.
