Two original chakrams obtained at Creation Entertainment X:WP conventions (charity auctions). The original chakram in 1997 at the very first Xena and Hercules Convention and the 2nd chakram in 2001 at what became the Annual Xena Convention in Southern California (in 2001 this convention was in Pasadena, CA -- it is now being held in Burbank, CA).
The chakram is probably the most iconic of any Xena: Warrior Princess prop -- there was something so design perfect about the original chakram -- and if you ask Xena fans which design they prefer, most will say the original chakram (not scientifically sampled population of fans). I have a particular soft spot for the original chakram: it was the first prop offered by RenPics and the first prop I obtained. Getting this prop allowed me to meet a lot of fans and share the prop at many gatherings around the country. Terrific fun.
I've started putting up my X:WP collection of original props, original costumes, and original art (mostly published art) on my Google Pages website (see link in the box above right). I've only just started the project, so check back occasionally for updates. As another part of this project, I will also start posting early fan gathering pictures, beginning with the Southern California XenaFest, which first occurred back in 1996, before the official conventions started via Creation Entertainment.

Hi,
Could find anywhere else to post this but here it goes. I think the wooden Chalkram prop you have comes from the episode from season 2 'Warrior..Princess...Tramp' and is used by the Xena imposter and later fan fav Meg. THeres a scene when she is talking to the guys Agnuss who is using here, she's playing with it and showing him how it works, to which he breaks it in two and she has to glue it back togther.
Hope that is useful for you.

Hi Xebe,
I think the wooden chakram that Meg uses in WPT was thinner, but thank you for the tip, I will check out that ep again.
best,
