- Lot Description
An elaborate 19th-century Vampire Hunting Kit, housed in a beautifully studded wooden chest, containing all the necessary tools to combat the undead. This set includes a Flintlock Pistol with a unique vampire head bone grip, a horn-handled dagger engraved with “MORTEM DEI” (Death of God), and a New Testament Bible. Also featured are a silver-handled crucifix, a trio of wooden stakes with a mallet, a bone bullet box (missing bullets), a wooden censer, and an empty Holy Water flask.
Vampire hunting kits became popular during the 19th century when vampire folklore captivated European imaginations. This set embodies both historical superstition and finely curated kits designed to ward off evil beings. An extremely fascinating collector's piece for those interested in gothic history, folklore, and antique weaponry.
