Bruce Lee’s coat fetches $77,000

Sold a coat worn by Bruce Lee in his recent book "Game of Death" for the movie $ 77,000 at an auction of rare items the late kung fu icon in Hong Kong Saturday, much higher than the pre-sale estimates.

Thirteen items went under the hammer in the sale, and is believed to be the largest auction of memorabilia and the scope for me in the city of South China, where it was lifted martial arts star before moving to the United States in the late teenage years.
Smashed the pre-sale estimates and raising a total of $ 1780000 Hong Kong, including the fur lined coat, which was dark blue in 1973 about the "Game of Death", the film was released after the death of me.
It was originally expected to fetch about HK $ 70,000 but was sold to the collectors of the United States to HK $ 600,000, nearly nine times the initial estimates - the coat - the most expensive item in the sale.
The message that I wrote 45 years ago to a friend of martial arts legend, who talked about the television series "Green Hornet", which he played Kato -
Kung Fu and kicking hard to serve a row of masked crime fighter - was sold to Hong Kong, $ 400,000.
Other items that were sold, including the membership card of the Institute of Kung Fu for him, my name card and an envelope addressed to me to a friend. "I'm very happy," said Albert Wong, gay, Vice President of the Midland real estate holding company, which spent HK $ 265,000 for the purchase of four items in the auction, including a membership card, which was sold for HK $ 200,000.
