From the original run of Doctor Who on television from 1963-1989, this original prop was used by actor Richard Willis, who played Varsh. It is most easily identifiable in the scene which begins with Varsh ‘sharpening’ his knife, despite it being made of wood. The wire wrapped around the handle, which is also wood, however is metal.

It is nice to have such an item in the collection that is now 35 years old!
