Gabrielle "The Deliverer" dagger prop

Hello friends! Today I bring you a new post talking about my screen-used dagger prop style used in “The Deliverer” and “Gabrielle’s Hope” when Gabrielle makes her first kill. This dagger is a resin piece with a foam blade for stunts, probably to not to hurt anyone. 

The handle is a carved Maori Tiki figure from New Zealand. They are commonly called tiki by New Zealanders, a term that originally refers to large human figures carved in wood and to the small wooden carvings used to mark sacred places.

Handle close-up.

This is the same style of the dagger that Gabrielle used to kill Meridian in "The Deliverer" however this one wasn't used for that episodes cause has some differences bewteen the ones used, for example, the rope arround the Maori figure is one of the differences. The one used by Renée is owned by another US collector and friend. However I think is an special prop to include in my collection.

Gabrielle Hero Screenused S6 Sai Straps

Another of my favourite pieces of this Season 6 Gabrielle costume: The Sai Straps. I've adquired a pair of the screenused sai straps used by Gabrielle played by Renée O'Connor during the filming of the six season of the tv series.

They are in mint condition. The sai straps are made from a braid that combines strips of black and green leather, being the same green leather used in the skirt and top. And the braided is sewn on a piece of reddish brown leather.

My intuition tells me that they are the pair of the sai straps exhibited in the Te papa museum in New Zealand.

Here are the pair of sai straps tied to the Gabrielle screenused leather boots holding my pair of screenused sais.

Gabrielle Hero Screenused S6 Underneath Shorts

 New adquisition! These is a screenused reddish orange short that Renée worn underneath the velvet skirt during season 6 for modestry. In the label is written "12B Renee #3" I suppose this was the third one that was made for her. There were different numbered costume sets of the same wardrobe for the main actresses and this one is number #3.
