BSG Props Doc Cottle’s Medical Scissors

Stainless steel medical scissors. Measures 7½″ long

Provenance

Taken directly from the set of the NBC/Universal production, Battlestar Galactica, by Propworx staff.

Medical scissors used by Doc Cottle to cut open Number Six Cylon Natalie Faust’s navy Calvin Klein short-sleeve dress after she was shot by Sharon Agathon. She is taken to Galactica’s infirmary where Doctor Sherman Cottle tries to save her life. During that time, she projects herself into a sunny forest. However, she succumbs to her wounds and dies with Cottle holding her hand. Her last sight is of Cottle’s masked face fading into white. With no Resurrection Ship nearby and the Resurrection Hub destroyed soon after, her death is permanent in the Fourth Season episode “Sine Qua Non.”
