Game of Thrones Weapons and Props to be Auctioned

[Westeros]

This past October, Boyd Rankin—who served as armorer on Game of Thrones from its pilot through its 4th season, and even appeared as Winterfell’s blacksmith Mikken—passed away at the age of 73. An expert in historical arms, Boyd brought a great depth of knowledge to the early years of the production and helped create some of the most iconic weapons of the show. Now, his widow Lynne Williams has decided to part with a number of weapons and props he created for the show that remained as part of his property. Thanks to The Wolf and the Crows Youtube crew, which includes famed extra Andrew McClay, these will be sold via a live auction livestream.

Among the items to be sold are various leather belts, a variety of house banners and flags, “Hero” daggers from Benjen Stark, Brienne of Tarth, and Jon Snow (this being the dagger used through season 8 and which Jon uses in the final episode of the series), a prototype of Needle, the Hound’s back sword, and (most notably of all) the original Ice used by Sean Bean in the first season (particularly for the beheading scene).

Instructions for submitting bids can be found here, and the live stream is already scheduled for October 4th on Youtube.
