While Pedro Pascal’s helmet from the hit Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian could net £15,600. 

A rare copy of Sex Pistols’ single God Save The Queen is also expected to go for more than £15,000.

The rock band which formed in London in 1975 signed several copies of their debut single at Buckingham Palace in 1977, however, the publicity stunt was so controversial that most of the copies were destroyed. 

It later emerged that some copies were retained by A&M records and were given to executives when the label closed its London offices in 1998. 

An even rarer copy, which predates the 13-20 ‘golden handshake’ copies, is also set to go on sale at Wessex Auction Rooms in Chippenham Wilts on Friday. 

The seller, who worked at the label until 1984 told The Mirror: ‘I have been holding on to it for sentimental reasons.’

According to The Mirror, Heritage Auctions in Dallas are selling 600 movie props in total. 

The firm’s Joe Maddalena said: ‘We’re bringing together some of the most important cultural artefacts that have never before been in a single place.’
