An Argonaut SFX retractable sword, an Argonaut hero metal sword, and a centaur shield from Don Chaffey's fantasy adventure film Jason and the Argonauts. Swords and shields were carried by the Argonauts throughout the film, and shields were also used to decorate the sides of the Argo, their ship.

Both the swords and their scabbards are made of metal, and decorated with circular details. The retractable sword's scabbard is painted black, while the scabbard of the hero sword is a bronze colour. The shield is also made of metal, and painted with the image of a centaur drawing a bow. It has canvas straps on the reverse side, which are fraying. The shield exhibits some paint wear, and both the shield and swords exhibit rusting, owing to their age. Otherwise, all three remain in good condition. Dimensions: 78 cm x 64 cm x 11 cm (30.75" x 25.25" x 4.25")

Edged, bladed or blunt object; see notice on Blades in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: £7,500 - 15,000 Ω
