Screenused Egyptian Cleopatra sword

New arrival! This is an Egyptian style screenused sword seen in the episode "Antony & Cleopatra" from season 5. This sword is an emblematic prop itself because it was only seen in this episode used by Xena played by Lucy Lawless in her fight against Marc Antony and by Gabrielle in her fight against Brutus, Caesar's right hand comrade, during the final fight in the boat.

It is really well preserved in mint condition. The sword has the painting intact, the handle and pommel has aged gold tones and blue painting in it.

It is an amazing sword and quite rare to find, I don't ever seen more than two of those. I have been able to locate another twin of this sword in the collection of J. Movie Prop King and the other one that I believe it is this one was originally located in the Xena Museum Atheneum collection, after was sold to another collector and finally came to me.

XENA COLLECTION EXPO OCT 22

Hi guys! Yesterday I have the chance of taking a few photos of my personal permanent Xena collection that I've acquired during the last 10 years at least, the collection combines screenused Hero costumes, props and a few replicas. Was a hard job to reunited all this stuff and I'm still thinking about how to display it properly, for the moment is placed as it is in the photos.

In this general photo you can see Xena hero costume, Gabrielle hero season 3&4 and season 6 costumes. Plenty of swords, proud of my Xena hero metal sword hanged in the shadow box in the wall, my screenused Gabrielle sais over the Creation Limited Edition Sais, some screenused dagger and replicas, the amazon turtle shield, a roman shield, a few axes, an spear, the AFIN katanas and Creation Entertainment chakras, sais, breast dagger & whip. In the middle of the dresser you can see a Xena metal replica based in the screenused one and a leather scabbard.

Gabrielle S5 costume replica

 Hi guys! Today I bring you a special entry about my last project. I have been working on it about two weeks and I think the result finally worth it. Here is the Gabrielle season 5 leather costume replica seen in season 5 from the series. The very first appearance was in the episode "Chakram" from season 5 after Gabrielle and Xena survived the roman crucifixion. The last episode that was seen this wardrobe was in the episode "The haunting of Amphipolis" from season 6 when Gabrielle falls in acid and the costume is destroyed.

Well, I believe everybody see that this costume had a lot and different braiding styles. Sometimes, it was a real nightmare to continue although other moments I had a funny time working on it. Also another hard job was to find the correct shape and colour leather for the braid, the top and belt. Making a good pattern was one of the most important issues,  I must say I have help on that... Another point was to find the right size and shape metal beads hanging from the top and belt.

 

Gabrielle season 6 costume and season 5 one shared the metal cuffs, was the only thing in common in both wardrobes. The necklace is an official replica distributed by Creation Entertainment w/COA.
