Meanwhile, a helmet and mask worn by Russell Crowe’s character in Ridley Scott’s Oscar-winning epic Gladiator is expected to fetch £200,000.
It is from the personal collection of Australian rugby union player David Campese, to whom it was gifted directly by Crowe, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Also offered is the helmet of Tigris of Gaul, the feared and previously undefeated gladiator defeated by Maximus in one of the film’s most iconic battles.

Originating directly from its designer, illustrator Sylvain Despretz, the helmet draws inspiration from the French comic series Astérix and Murena and carries a pre-sale estimate of £80,000.
Expert Brandon Alinger said: “This auction brings together some of the most significant artefacts in cinema history, spanning landmark films, iconic characters, and extraordinary moments of filmmaking.
“The inclusion of the Jaws harpoon gun and fishing rod is particularly special, as pieces from this film almost never surface at this level.”
The three-day live auction by Propstore runs from 25 to 27 March in Los Angeles, California.
