An extraordinary punk collectible–a studded leather belt owned and worn by Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols, with full documentation.

This belt was offered as part of a lot of Sid’s possessions by Vicious’ mother, Anne Beverley, at a sale in June 1988, then sold by the original purchaser at Butterfield & Butterfield’s Auctioneers in March 1993. We subsequently acquired the entire lot, and offer here the belt only–this is the last item we have left from this extraordinary collection.  Included (and illustrated below) are color copies of a letter of authenticity from Sid’s mother, Anne Bevereley, the original 1993 sales receipt from Bonhams & Butterfield’s, and the relevant page from the Butterfield’s auction catalog.

The belt is in used but overall excellent condition, with minor signs of wear. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a personal item belonging to Sid Vicious, with the ultimate authentication, from his mother. (We have blurred out the original buyer’s information from the scan for their privacy).
