Daryl Dixon's (Norman Reedus) PSE Fang 350 Kingdom crossbow from AMC's The Walking Dead. In Season 7 Episode 10, "New Best Friends," Richard (Karl Makinen) gave Daryl a new crossbow after his weapon was stolen by Dwight (Austin Amelio), in exchange for helping the Kingdom defeat the Saviors. Daryl used his new crossbow throughout the Savior war.
After Norman Reedus read the script for the show, he auditioned, even for a chance to play a day role. His performance, which the producers liked so much, led to the creation of the character Daryl Dixon specifically for Reedus. Daryl went from a reoccurring character in the first season to a main character in Season 2. Since then, Daryl has had the highest number of appearances compared to any other character in The Walking Dead. He ranked No. 2 in Rolling Stone's "30 Best 'Walking Dead' Characters" list in 2016, only surpassed by Michonne (Danai Gurira). A beloved character with a satisfying character development arc, Daryl wielded his signature crossbow throughout the series as a testament to his resilience in a world fraught with undead threats and enemy factions.
This PSE Fang 350 crossbow is made of metal and composite polymers. It has a webbed nylon carrying strap from Barnett Crossbows and features a rail for scope attachment. Also included is one nylon carrying case. It exhibits mild discoloration and scuffing. Dimensions: 37.5" x 23" x 8.5" (95.25 cm x 58.5 cm x 21.5 cm)
Estimate: $15,000 - 30,000
