Centaur Metal Sword

After these difficult days when all the world was stopped because of the Covid-19, Ive got the chance to take some good photos of some of my favourite props.

These sword is an amazing prop. This kind of swords were used mostly by centaurs during the series, also seen in the episode "Death in chains" used by Toxeus (played by Chris Graham) to fight against Xena and kill his men. Im quite sure that this sword was used in that episode because we can see how Toxeus kill his men with it in some close-ups, thats why they used a retractable hero metal sword.

Also, I realized that the round emblem in the pommel was also used in Xenas whip, this kind of emblems were used in many props and costumes during the tv series.

Here you can admire the shinny blade of the retractable metal sword. Also, as you can see the grip is wrapped with real black leather all arround.
