Achilles' (Brad Pitt) SFX retractable-blade sword from Wolfgang Petersen's mythical epic Troy. Achilles' wielded his sword in battle throughout the movie, most notably using it to slay Hector (Eric Bana) in their duel. The sword is a special effects version, allowing the tip of the weapon to retract when pushed against a solid object, which in the film gave the impression of the blade plunging into Hector's chest.

The blade is metal and the hilt resin. The top 14 cm (5") of the blade retracts. The sword is hand-painted to look as similar to the hero version as possible, with bronze and gold-coloured detailing on the handle. There are some scuffs and scratches from production use, as well as a small crack on the handle near the base of the blade. Dimensions: 71.5 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm (28 1/4" x 4" x 2")

Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000 M
