Screen used generic Sword

Recently arrived this screen used generic style sword used in the production of XWP and HTLJ tv series.

Particularly, this sword reminds me a bit the style of Joxer sword and I have the intuition that this sword belongs to the earlier seasons of the tv series, but I didn´t find the origin yet. I have compared this sword with my Cleopatra Egyptian sword and the blade it is quite similar.

The guard and pommel are made of light resin and the blade is made of closed cell foam well preserved. The handle has real leather strip around, previously I thought was part of the resin cast, but it is not. has It is in very good condition although it has some wear in the painting and scratches and signs of wear in the blade. However, it is a gorgeous piece to add to my collection because is quite different to mostly all my other prop swords.

I am still trying to find where this sword appeared? If you have any idea you can comment this entry or contact privately.

Is in very good condition for being made 25 years ago. It is made of closed cell foam with a resin coated handle and guard. It has leather wrapped around the handle for easy gripping. It is painted silver/gray and accented with black to make it look used.

This sword  was seen in season 6 episodes, I've found some screencaps from the episodes "The God You Know" and "When Fates Collide".

In this image we can see Xena played by Lucy Lawless with a foam sword fighting romans at the end of the episode, the foam sword were made to this kind of fight scenes to not to hurt anybody. Probably that sword is the one I've got, but not 100% confirmed.

Here are in the romans sheaths when they were going to crucify Gabrielle in "When Fates Collide"
