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.





			*‘The Price Sword’*


	This style sword was used throughout the Hercules and Xena series. The screen caps I have for your viewing is from season 2, episode’ The Price’. It is made of resin and the handle is covered with what appears rough tape for gripping. This sword has seen some battle wear with all the paint missing on the blade.






		*‘Remember Nothing Sword’*


	This style sword was used over and over again in the Xena / Herc series. It is also the same style used by Gabrielle in the episode ‘Remember Nothing’, it is made of a hard rubber with a resin hilt and is rather heavy. The handle is wrapped with black leather and the guard is painted with a brass or copper looking paint.


	*‘Double Lions Head Sword’*


	This Double headed lion sword is the same style sword used in episodes, season 3 ‘King Con’ and season 5 ‘Looking Death in the Eye’. 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 gold then with black to make it look used. Quite a elegant looking weapon.

‘The Broad Sword’

This style broad sword was used in several episodes. The screen caps I have for viewing are from episodes ‘Last of the Centaurs’ and ‘Many Happy Returns’. It is made of hard resin and painted black and silver with a little gold highlighting on the handle. It has seen good battles as you can tell by the paint missing on the blade and guard.

‘Amazon Warrior Swords’

These style swords were used by the Amazon warriors in season 6. The screen caps I have for viewing are from episode ‘To Helicon and Back’. They are made with a resin handle and a closed cell foam blade. the top sword is painted silver/gray with a dark brown/black handle, it has a silver with brass painted pommel and guard, black highlights were also added to make it look aged. The lower one is made with a resin handle and a closed cell foam blade also, but, it is painted with a light brown handle, it has a brass painted pommel and guard, black highlights were also added to make it look aged. The darker top sword was used by warriors and the lighter color swords were normally used by the queens. A wonderful piece of Amazon history.

‘Centaur Horse Head Sword’

This style sword was used in Hercules the Legendary Journeys, episode ‘Centaur Mentor Journey’ by the lead centaur ‘Cassius’. It is made of hard resin and painted silver, this sword has seen many battle scenes as the paint has been rubbed off in several places but it is still in wonderful condition. A very interesting and detailed sword.

‘Tiki Carved Sword’

This is a very unique sword made of all resin. It has a carved tiki looking handle, painted to have a silver looking blade and wooden looking handle. This style sword was used in ‘Hercules season two, episode ‘Under a Broken Sky’ and then this style was later used in Xena by ‘Cyanne’ and her tribe of amazons. Made very well and quite impressive.

second season Hercules episode “Under A Broken Sky”2




	*'Katana and Sheath'* This katana is the same style used in Xena season 6 episode 'A Friend in Need'. The sword is made of molded hard resin and was probably used by stunt or background warriors because even the material look on the handle is same mold casting and not material wrapped. It is painted silver/gray on the blade, handle is painted black with gold looking diamonds, the guard is hard molded golden colored rubber with a dragon on it. The sheath is all leather, dark brown with black leather straps tied in a criss-cross fashion, it is made around a metal pipe and has a double heavy leather belt/sash hoop attachment at the top.






			*‘Fur Trim Sword’*


	This is a very unique sword, it is made of resin with a metal core. The blade is painted silver/gray, the handle is wrapped leather and wrapped twine,and it has New Zealand possum fur trim with a star design on the pommel. This style sword was used in Hercules the Legendary Journeys season 2, episode ‘Highway to Hades and is heavy but quite well made.

‘Diamond Tipped Sword’

This sword is the same style used in Xena Season 6 Episode “To Helicon and Back” being used by Belerophon/Craig Parker. It is made of closed cell foam on a metal rod with a resin handle. I call it the diamond tipped sword because it has a large diamond shape pommel tip. It is painted in layers to have a antique looking appearance and a black painted leather look handle.


	*‘The Draxel Sword’*

This style sword was used in many different episodes such as ‘Locked Up and Tied Down, ‘Mortal Beloved’, etc. This sword is made of a closed cell foam with a light resin coating and a resin handle and guard. It has been painted in layers to give it an aged look. The COA I have from ‘It’s a Wrap’ states it as being a ‘Draxel Sword’ from the episode ‘Locked Up and Tied Down’ but being a foam sword it was most likely used in many episodes.


	*‘Alti’s Army Sword’*




		This style sword is the same style used by Alti’s army in the episode ‘Between the Lines’. It is made of closed cell foam on a metal rod and light coat of resin with a resin handle. It is then painted in layers to give it a realistic look.


	*‘Amazon Bird Sword’*

The Amazon bird sword is one of the highly wanted collectable swords in the XWP collectors world. This one is made of closed cell foam with a metal core and light coat of resin with a resin bird guard and handle. like all the rest of the swords on the sets this is painted in layers as well. This style sword was used throughout the XWP/Herc series in many many episodes such as ‘Hooves and Harlots’, ‘The Quest’, ‘ A Necessary Evil’, etc. I do also have the leather Amazon sword sheath that goes with it.
