Xena: Warrior Princess, Archangel sword

original movie prop weapon

A screen-used archangel sword with a resin hilt and handle and a closed-cell foam blade over a metal rod. This style of sword was used in the season 5 episode “Fallen Angel,” but those props lacked the red and gold fabric embellishments on the handle. You can also see swords of this style in the season 4 episode “Between the Lines,” used by Gabrielle reincarnated as Shakti and by Shakti’s army. I would identify this particular sword as one used by Xena and the archangels Michael, Raphael, and Lucifer in the season 6 episode “Heart of Darkness.”
