Looking to Trade / Buy Props from Spartacus Auction

Hi everybody,
on a lighter note, I wonder if any of you bought any of the props from the Spartacus (Blood and Sand, not Kirk Douglas) auction recently. I have a few pieces, but I'd like one of the Roman repro tag collars. I sadly didn't win any of these. They were auctioned of in sets of 4 to 6, maybe somebody wants to trade doubles. I have some shackles and plain collars.

They are fairly well made, some from plastic, some from metal.

The shackle type, by the way, is probably not authentic. The Romans used a thinner type, after all, metal was precious. The wire-type collars appear more authentic.

I haven't photographed mine yet, but e-mail me if interested. The photos are from the auction, or the series. Even if they are not real cuffs (mostly), they are kind of neat.

Kind regards
Nils

Hi Nils,

I am not familiar with these items and I hope you find what you are looking for.

It is my observation that in most biblical, ancient Greek, Roman or slave trade times that these old irons are always dark, dingy, rusty and worn out.
Wouldn't these restraints be brand new, bright and shiny in these kinds of movies? As per the timeline of the movie these items would have had to been recently manufactured and would not have been around long enough to make them so aged or antique looking.

Oh yeah right, they really had the technology to make restraints 'shiny and bright' back in that time period. What a buffoon!

Anonymous, as a matter of fact, they did. Did you ever see Roman spoons, or silverware? Ever been to a museum?

Your comments are unqualified, and totally uncalled for.

It's probably safe to say that rust protection was not as advanced as it is today, and together with sweat and salt, most restraints would probably have looked rusty after a short while. And could easily lead to tetanus and infections.

I see what Mark is saying.
If watching a old cowboy movie, the cowboy, by rights should be driving a perfecly fine stage coach (as perfect as it could be in the day) and not a beat up decrepid one because old vintage stage coaches simply did not exist yet.

If a Roman slave was wearing a neck collar it could only be a pretty new neck collar and not much older than the timeframe in which it was used. Therefore, it would appear pretty new looking and not as an old relic.

Anon, I think you are the baffoon and your comment is uncalled for.
If you disagree than say so, Man up!

Wouldn't it be good if the next ten years was ANON-(dickhead) free.

To the Anon poster- or as Ian states "dickhead", your are a complete idiot.
There was no technology needed in the old days to make restraints "shiny and bright".
If they were brand new they would come out in that condition and nothing else needed to be done. No extraneous technology needed.

You sir, are the buffoon....idiot and dickhead
Go away!

Sure they could make exquisite jewellery etc in those days etc but these would have been roughly made by a blacksmith. They would have come out of the forge black and would rust as soon as they got wet. Nils, have a go at making your own. You know enough to make them more authentic that shown and have a lot of fun doing it.

I would like to see how someone can stick a chunk of metal into a fire, pound the hell out of it with a hammer, and make it come out all 'shiny and bright'. If all you chattermouth know-it-alls would like to post a video of you doing this very task, feel free to post it here. But first, learn how to spell and I might take you somewhat seriously!

Good Day!

I put some of the items I don't want to keep up for auction. Maybe someone wants to add a restraint from the show to their collection, in a way it's movie / tv-history. I can pass along a photocopy of the COA.

Shipping costs are estimated, what's not needed I'll refund. You can also contact me if interested, I have a piece or two left.

Have a good weekend!
