This is an exact replica in every detail, this was made with the help of the person who purchased the ORIGINAL from the famous FOX auction last year.
Below are some pics of the scythe at different angles, further pics of the original master, and a comparison picture showing my unpainted master copy, and the original prop that sold on ebay recently. I also thought bidders might be interested to see how my scythes are cast so I've included some pics below which goes through the process.
The scythe you are bidding on is fully painted, has a leather wrap handle on the stem, & rubber grips on the blade handle.
This is pretty much indestructable & has the weight of a real weapon. The original was cast in Rubber (I know the Fox auctions say plastic, but that isn't the case - its hard rubber), so that it could be used on set without anybody getting seriously hurt (this one however can cause some serious damage, so bidders over the age of 18 only please). Please keep in mind that like the original this is a solid one peice cast, meaning that there is no weak joints (it hasn't been glued to a plastic handle or wooden stake) or soldered, and will last forever! The pictures dont give the scythe justice, it looks fantastic in hand (everyone who has purchased one so far are very pleased and taken back with the detail that has gone into this item). The Scythe is meant for display purposes only (but that doesn't mean its delicate - far from it. I didn't make them so that people could go around chopping off heads). The reserve price is now set at £300.
