Frank Farmer's (Kevin Costner) screen-matched katana and Robin Miller-signed wakizashi from Mick Jackson's romantic thriller The Bodyguard. Rachel Marron (Whitney Houston) grabbed a katana displayed on the wall in Frank's basement. Frank threw Rachel's silk scarf in the air, which sliced in two when it hit the blade. Marks on the blade's base and patterning on the scabbard match it to close-up shots of the sword being drawn.

The katana comprises a curved steel blade with a bronze-colour metal strip at the base, a detailed floral-shaped guard, and a leather grip featuring woven cord. It comes with a black leather scabbard with an ornate metal tip and strands of metallic gold cord wrapped around one end. Also included is a matching wakizashi signed by prop master Robin Miller. Some of the cord on both weapons has begun to fray over time, the katana's scabbard exhibits minor marks, and the wakizashi's metal exhibits tarnishing. Dimensions (katana in scabbard): 99 cm x 9 cm x 9 cm (39" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"); (wakizashi in scabbard): 40.75 cm x 10.25 cm x 10.25 cm (16" x 4" x 4")

Estimate: £4,000 - 6,000 Ω
