Blade's (Wesley Snipes) screen-matched costume and hero Daywalker sword display from Stephen Norrington's action-horror film Blade. Blade wore his costume throughout the film as he hunted vampires. Through the tarnishing on its buckles, the padded vest screen-matches the one seen in the climactic moment where Blade cut Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) in half.

The costume consists of a long imitation leather jacket; a black T-shirt (size "M"); a black padded vest with small pouches and resin buckles painted to look like metal; and a pair of black trousers. The vest has an intentional slash across the left breast revealing silver foil, and the left trouser leg has a cut on it. The trousers also have a sticky sheen to them.

The sword's handle is made from cast resin painted silver and black with symbol detailing, and its blade is made of aluminium to give the weapon a lightweight feel. The sword handle is worn, revealing the black resin underneath.

The costume and sword come on a custom-made display and the lot is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from New Line Cinema. Dimensions (display): 36 cm x 55 cm x 182 cm (14 1/4" x 21 3/4" x 71 3/4")

Special shipping required; see special shipping notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £40,000 - 60,000 M
