Set-used "King Con" style prop dagger

Set-used dagger made of resin and soft foam in the blade. Like mostly all Xena props it has a metal rod inside to avoid bending. This dagger acquired by Global Effects in a prop trade in the early 2000’s and was stored since then. I have just seen a few of them in the last 10 years, so it is a quite rare one. 

This dagger had a few appearances in season 3. Firstly, this dagger was used by the warlord, Dexon, at the beginning of the episode “Warrior… priestess… tramp” when Leah, the Virgin Priestess, wanted to be sacrificed for peace.

Later on, this dagger was used by Titus, the owner of the play house, in the episode “King Con” and a very quick appearance in the episode “Tsunami” hanging on the belt of a mariner when Gabrielle tried to save Autolycus from prison.

Set used prop Dagger

A recent eBay pickup: Here is a set-used dagger that was seen in the episode “King Con” and “Warrior… priestess… tramp” from season 3. 

A quite rare dagger never seen before on sale. The handle is made of hard resin and the blade is soft foam in very good condition after about 25 years it was made. The dagger is a complete cast of resin, the leather wrapping around the handle is also casted in resin.

Personally, I love this style of intricate detailed daggers from the tv series.

Gabrielle's complete hero classic costume

Finally I can display the complete Gabrielle season 3&4 classic hero trademark costume. Probably one of my favorites costumes and most recognizable Gabrielle costume of the whole series worn by Gabrielle played by Renée O'Connor during the season 3 and the beginning of season 4, probably the golden years of the series in my opinion. 

General view.

The costume is composed of the iconic set used Gabby BGSB (or "bilious green sport bra") with embroidered leaf motifs and wooden bead adornments, the set used rust paneled skirt, the set used leather painted belt, the set used leather fur purse, the garnet boots replica and the Creation Entertainment wood staff.

Gabrielle hero trademark boots

Hey guys! This week I have received these pair of boots replica from Gabrielle season 3 & 4 hero classic costume. This pair of boots were made by the Hollywood prop master Todd Coyle, after I got them I realized why Todd told me that they decided to not to do it anymore, the work on it is very intricate and the patterns are so screen accurate that I supposed it was a nightmare to do as accurate as the set used boots but it really worth it. 

Made of real garnet cow leather and leather laces. About the laces, the boots came with light brown leather laces but weren't made of a good leather so they were already peeling all around and the color wasn't the right one so I added those laces of the same garnet cow leather and looks much better now.

I always wanted to complete my Gabrielle set used season 3 & 4 costume and finally I can do it.
