Batman's Batpod and Indiana Jones's fedora are among the headline items on offer at a film auction in northwest London. Cinephiles and movie buffs will be able to bid on more than 1,400 lots, valued at a total of £10 million.

Key Lots and Estimates

Propstore's Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction features big ticket items, including Batman's suit, Jon Snow's Longclaw sword, and Daenerys Targaryen's Drogon dragon egg from Game Of Thrones.

The Batpod motorcycle featured in The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012) is estimated to sell for between £450,000 and £900,000, while the suit worn by Christian Bale as the superhero in Batman Begins (2005) is estimated to sell for between £125,000 and £250,000.

Indiana Jones and Game of Thrones Items

The iconic Indiana Jones fedora, worn by Harrison Ford's stunt double Vic Armstrong, is also up for grabs alongside a stunt shirt from the stuntman's personal collection. The pair are expected to sell for as much as £800,000, with Indiana Jones' eight-foot bullwhip also going to auction with a value between £200,000 and £400,000.

The Longclaw sword, which was used by actor Kit Harington in Game Of Thrones between 2011 and 2019, carries an estimate of between £50,000 and £100,000, while the dragon egg used by Emilia Clarke is estimated to make between £20,000 and £40,000.

Auction Details and Exhibition

The auction will run for three days from December 4 to 6, with the first day seeing in-person bidding at Bafta's 195 Piccadilly venue in London, with global phone, online and absentee bidding available for all three days.

There will also be a public exhibition at The Cumberland Hotel in London from November 19 to 22, giving fans a chance to see the items before they go on sale.

Stephen Lane, founder and chief executive of Propstore, said: "The Batpod is an extraordinary feat of filmmaking and engineering, and a spectacular centrepiece for Propstore's Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction."

"Bringing together Indiana Jones' fedora, shirt, and bullwhip in the same catalogue is particularly exciting. These pieces define one of cinema's most recognisable characters, and offering all three in a single auction is an extraordinary opportunity for collectors."

"With the fedora and shirt coming directly from legendary stunt performer Vic Armstrong's personal collection, they also tell the story of the remarkable stunt work behind the adventure. We can't wait to find new homes for these relics with collectors who will treasure their place in film history."
