The items, including a Stirling Cooper grey cotton jacket that has been signed by martial arts' icon's wife and daughter, his shoes and kicking shield, are being sold by auctioneer Nate D Sanders.
The jacket is inscribed by Shannon Lee and by wife Linda, who has written "This was one of Bruce's most favorite jackets!"
