Morloch's sword

My last acquisition is this Morloch style resin sword prop used by Morloch’s men and by himself in the episode “Dangerous Prey” from season 6. 

It is not the first prop I have bought from this seller: Orbital Surplus is a company that is selling several Xena's props on eBay in the last few years. As I know, Global Effects Inc. company based in the USA had traded several Xena's props from New Zealand many years ago and they had been stored since then. Global Effects continues to supply props and costumes to the entertainment industry, but is doing some "house cleaning", so they have been selling some of their Xena's stored props from the folks at Orbital Surplus. 

In this case, the sword is made of solid resin with a metal rod inside to prevent for bending as an internal structure. The “triangle” detail in the cross guard identifies this sword from this specific episode as it was a symbol of Morloch’s men. 

I already have a stunt foam sword same style as this, clearly having both swords, I can compare them and check the differences between hero resin sword and a stunt foam one.

The solid resin hero swords were used by the main characters on screen as it is more detailed and robust than the stunt foam ones.
