This mysterious kit includes all the tools and weapons one would expect to find in a vampire hunter's kit. The box thus contained crucifixes, holy water, a stake and its mallet, rosary beads, a Bible, brass candlesticks, as well as a pair of pistols and a powder flask.
This unusual object has attracted bidders from all over the world such as France, the United States and Canada. It was ultimately an anonymous buyer from UK who won the auction.
