The Kurgan's (Clancy Brown) metal sword from Russell Mulcahy's action fantasy Highlander. This sword was The Kurgan's signature weapon, used throughout the film as he battled through the ages in pursuit of Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert.)

The custom-built sword is made from polished, steel with a faux crocodile skin and leather grip. A blood groove is in the blade, running from just above the guard to the blade's tip. The guard, a prominent part of the design, is an assembly of multiple components, with trademark spikes embedded in the guard's claw-like arms. The spikes protruding from the guard are intended for punching strikes in combat.

Used practically during filming, the sword features multiple small notches along the blade as a result of battles with McLeod and the other immortals. A Letter of Authentication from the film's propmaster, John Allenby, accompanies the sword, stating that this was "the only hero steel-bladed sword ever made for this movie."

The sword exhibits a missing portion of the snakeskin material around the pommel at the base of the grip, revealing the metal beneath. Minor scrapes and pitting across the guard and blade are also exhibited, all of which are clear signs of production use. Dimensions: 49.50" x 10.75" x 2.25" (126 cm x 27 cm x 6 cm)

Estimate: $30,000 - 60,000
