Recently arrived this screenused Wealthea style sword used in the North episodes from season six and used by Xena played by Lucy Lawless in the episode "The Return of the Valkyrie", this episode was filmed in July 2000 in New Zealand so have passed 22 years since then.
This stunt sword combines hard resin in the handle with soft closed cell foam in the blade to avoid damages in the actors during fights. There is a metal rod inside the sword to prevent it from bending.
This sword was probably used in the scene when Xena fight Waltraute arround the fire circle where is a sleeping Gabrielle.
Handle close-up.
The sword is a quite long piece, probably the longest I have with the double head lion sword, read more...
It has a few damages in the blade, however the foam from the blade is in good condition after 22 years... This sword came with a Valkyrie style sheath made of real leather with a braid of rope around, that fits perfectly to the sword.
