The weapons used in “Serenity” were stylized, recognizable at a glance, and unique. Official replicas of several of them were made, priced for collectors, and they seem to have sold out since they are no longer listed at Museum Replicas or TFAW.com. So the next best thing? “Inspired” replicas!
Pear Tree Martial Arts has a variety of almost-authentic “Serenity” weaponry available, at very low prices. Something sort of resembling River’s axe? 30 bucks. Jayne’s Bowie? 25. The Operative’s sword (with scabbard) and the Reaver sword (with stand) are probably the closest to the originals, at $40 and $45 respectively, and there’s something called a “Reaver claw” for $20. While they wouldn’t do for a collector, they would spice up your display shelves and liven up your umbrella stand something fierce, for not much cash. And at least the descriptions suggest someone there likes the movie…
The weapons are actually rather generic with a little dressing from the prop department. Most of the base weapons can be found through these guys. Their prices are reasonable and having purchased countless things from them I can vouch on my browncoat they are reliable and reputable.
