Callisto's screenused hero sword

“Wish me luck, not that you would. Oh, and Xena, the next time we meet. I’ll be a god…” - Callisto, “A necessary evil”, season 2.

Side 1.

Side 2.

I couldn’ even realized until I had it on my hands. Directly from New Zealand, here is a legendary holy grail prop in the truest sense of the word: Callisto’s metal hero sword used by Hudson Leick as Callisto during her appearances bewteen season 1-4. 

The aged patina and light gold painting matches the early Callisto’s episodes from season 1 & 2. My guess is that this particulary sword was used in the episode “A neccesary evil” in mostly all the scenes that Hudson wielded it where the detail could be appreciated. 

Also, some small scratches on the blade of the sword could be from the bonfire scene in which Callisto converses with Gabrielle and Xena while she was sharpening the sword blade with a stone.

The sword is a cast in solid aluminum and painted with an aged patina required for close-up scenes. The sword remains in the same conditions as it was 25 years ago when the series ended. It had been preserved and stored in a safe place since then. 

Nowadays finding a screen used Callisto’s sword is very rare, nearly impossible, I have just seen a few of them in my life, and just one was metal. Callisto’s Creation swords are the rarest of those replicas, just 250 units were made.

 

I feel lucky to have found this unique piece that deserves a worthy exhibition in my collection.
