Hello everyone!
If
last Monday was full of new stuff, this one is not far behind. So many cool things, and some of them already full of bids. I'm sure many of you will be greatly interested. Let's see!
- ALTI'S PROP SWORD
> Character: Alti in S4 "Between the Lines"
> Material: Resin.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $100 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: I'd like to start this week's roundup with an interesting cut-off sword from the India episodes. The sword was heavily set used, and i presents very visible wear and tear, as expected. Price does compensate that, though, and given its origins (the sword comes from the well-known collector Cheri Wood aka Myxenawp, whose blog you can check and enjoy
here) I'd say tho is a very good opportunity.

- PROP SPEAR TOP
> Character: Unknown
> Material: Foam.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $25 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: The second item Cheri has listed is this spear top. Not a breathtaking prop, but it was set used, and costs only 25 bucks. I'm sure it'll interest someone out there.

- ARTEMIS GUARD LEATHER KNEE PADS
> Character: Artemis' s High Amazon Guard in S5 "Eternal Bonds"
> Material: Leather. Metal rivets.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $25 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: You know, there's something I've always admired from Cheri, and that is her incredible ability to locate the tiniest of props through intensive observation of the series. One could say her superpower is locating the episode/s in which any prop was used! :) This is a good example, as these knee guards have been a mystery for some collectors for a time, until now.

- METAL & LEATHER ARMBAND / HELMET WRAP
> Character: Several characters in many episodes
> Material: Leather. Metal.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $25 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: This prop has been used in many episodes. In the listing, Cheri mentions: "I have spotted it in Xena Season 2 ep "Warrior...Princess...Tramp" (1st screen grab) wrapped around one of the bad guys helmets, in Hercules Season 6 ep "Rebel Without A Cause" (2nd sceen grab) being worn by the Executioner and in the Young Hercules Series ep "Forgery" (3rd screen grab) on a customer seated at a table in a club. So this piece shows it was used on all three show sets. Too Cool!!!"

- BURLAP SACK
> Character: Unknown
> Material: Burlap. Metal. Leather. Rope.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $25 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: Horse and background prop lovers, this is your chance to own a burlap sack that smells like horses :) This kind of props are always fun to see!

- SPOONS FROM THE SET
> Character: Unknown
> Material: Metal. Wood.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $10 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: I didn't even know if I was going to write about these spoons, but it turns out people are already bidding for them, so I guess there's interest for them out there. My opinion? Well, they are spoons. Used in Xena or Hercules, that much is clear. If you dig them, good luck!

- AMAZON METAL NECKLACE
> Character: Unknown
> Material: Twine. Metal.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $10 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: I know many of you love jewelry props! This necklace is pretty is much cheaper than usual, so it's a good opportunity to own an amazon item.

- ROPE EARRINGS
> Character: Unknown
> Material: Tan rope. Metal.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $10 plus shipping (only USA)
> Opinion: These earrings are the last listing from Cheri. Modest earrings, at a very cheap price. Not much to say about them, though if you give Cheri some time I'm sure she'll spot them somewhere :)

- CREATION ENT YIN YANG CHAKRAM + XENA STUFF
> Manufacturer: Creation Entertainment
> Number: 180?/500
> COA: Included
> Price: $299.99 plus shipping
> Opinion: We are all familiar with Creation chakram by now. This one presents some wear on the paint (look at the photos, you can clearly see some paint has been scratched away in the S handle area), and doesn't include the black wooden shadowbox, although it does come with the brass plaque. Maybe the biggest attractive about this listing are the other Xena items that come along with the chakram, ideal for any person who wants to buy several Xena collectibles at once.

- SCREEN-USED GABRIELLE PROP SCROLL
> Character: Gabrielle. Other characters?
> Material: Parchment. Resin. Wood?
> Papers: Not included
> Price: $30 plus shipping ($79 right now)
> Opinion: If you ask me, this is today's most interesting prop by far. I'm telling you it won't sell cheap. This is one of Gabrielle's trademark scrolls, and presents the typical designs seen throughout all seasons. The end caps are very distinctive. These particular caps look a bit rough and made of resin (I'd say foam, but I doubt they made foam props for this). They normally are attached to wooden rods that serve as the axises of the scroll. Seller clarifies this scroll is fixed and only rolls out partially. Gabrielle's scrolls are rarely seen, and are most treasured by many fans, so what are you doing standing there? Go and bid right now! :)

- ORNATE ROMAN PROP SWORD
> Character: Romans
> Material: Resin with metal rod.
> Papers: Not included
> Price: $150 plus shipping
>
Opinion: It's necessary to clarify this listing only includes ONE sword, not two. Pics show both sides of the sword at the same time, but only one sword is for sale. I've always liked roman-style sword because they are very typical from Xena. The ornament in the hilt is identical to the one seen on Callisto's sword, and that's nice too. This one in particular has a lot of wear from set use, but I know many fans who think that gives "character" to a prop.

- RHEINGOLD PROP SWORD
> Character: Xena. Valkyries.
> Material: Heavy foam rubber
> Papers: Not included
> Price: $200 plus shipping
> Opinion: Again, only one sword, not two. Interesting stunt sword, made for the Norse episodes. Lucy Lawless used one herself, so who knows...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141272277519
- GABRIELLE'S MOLDED BUST FROM COFFIN
> Character: Gabrielle (kind of) in S2 "Blind Faith"
> Material: Heavy foam rubber
> Papers: Not included
> Price: $200 plus shipping
> Opinion: I do prefer Gabrielle's scroll seen above, but this is the rarest prop here by far. It's 100% one of a kind. Made for the episode in which Gabrielle is supposed to marry a dead king, and meant to be burnt alive with his corpse. The bust was made based on Renee's face, or so they say. The coffin itself (as many others) was destroyed, but the bust has been preserved.

- SESKA'S PROP GAUNTLETS
> Character: Seska in HTLJ S6 "A Wicked Good Time"
> Material: Leather. Copper.
> Papers: COA from Turners
> Price: $75 plus shipping (only USA)
>
Opinion: I don't normally talk about the same prop more than once. And we saw these gauntlets a few months ago, when Mike decided to
sell his collection. But given it's still Mike selling them, and that the price has dropped quite a lot (original price was $300), I'd say this is a good opportunity to rethink if you want to add these beauties to your collection.

- 10th ANNIVERSARY GOLD EDITION CHAKRAM #9
> Manufacturer: Todd's Costumes
> Number: 0009/3500
> COA: Included
> Price: $299.95 plus shipping (only USA)
>
Opinion: 10th Anniversary Gold chakrams are rare, don't ask me why. I've seen only a handful of these in a long long time. I already talked about them in the
third part of my
Chakram Comparisons, so there's no much more to add save this has a VERY low number. Price is not bad, considering it comes in the original box and includes all the extras (COA and wall-mount).
***
You see? This week was long :) I must say it took a big deal of time to make, considering I have no time at all as of late. I hope to keep up the rhythm and publish some new entries soon.
Good hunting people!
