Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) claws from Bryan Singer's superhero sequel X2: X-Men United. Wolverine used his adamantium claws as his primary weapon, most notably when defending the school from Colonel William Stryker's (Brian Cox) soldiers, and during his fight with Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu).

The claws are made of resin over a metal support structure and are attached to a simple grip that allows the fingers to slide between the blades. The top edges of the claws extend past the knuckle, creating the illusion of the blades protruding from Wolverine's skin. The claws are painted a faux-silver colour and are cast with grooves in the blade to simulate sharpened metal. Also included in the lot is a set of CG reference claws: simple white posts that protruded slightly from Jackman's grip to provide tracking reference to digital animators.

The claws and CG reference claws are presented in their original on-set case (labelled "Santa", short for Santa Claus, as a clever means of disguising the contents). The foam within the carrying case is cut to shape, allowing the claws to fit snugly inside. The claws show minor wear due to production use, including small scuffs and scratches. Dimensions (each claw) 26 cm x 11 cm x 5 cm (10 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 2")

Estimate: £8,000 - 10,000 M
