Xena's hero scabbard

Probably one of the rarest props I have seen in the last 15 years of collecting... I was desperate searching for a Xena’s Creation scabbard during years, I had bought one and never arrived, I was devastated. But, I just needed patience.

Here is a Xena’s set used scabbard worn by Lucy Lawless circa season 2 and 3. I think is impossible to screen match with a specific episode or scene.

The main material is a dark brown leather with some aged and oiled parts and the structure of the scabbard is made of soft but firm foam. The scabbard has two leather braids on top and in the middle. 

The golden medallions are awesome, they are made of resin with golden paint and each one has a paua shell inlay. The back part has one carabiner hidden bewteen pieces of leather on top and where it should be another smaller carabiner was replaced by a leather strip to tie to Lucy’s back corset.

This is, for sure, one of my “Holy Grail” props and another Xena’s prop I can cross it off my wish list, this one has a place in my heart. The leather still has a special smell.

Some people asked me where I display all my costumes. Well, the real thing is that I only have a few of them displayed in one room and the others are just carefully stored.
