That is one of the most beautiful versions of Glamdring that I have seen. I think that I like it as much as your, Brendan (which is saying a lot about both your sword and this one).

I think Bren's original glamdring is one of my favourite swords from him, the pieces just all combine so perfectly. I would love to see his take on hadhafang or one of the elven blades.

Thank you for this information, Hotspur. My computer is not wanting to load the links that you posted, but the pictures that you posted are very interesting. One thing that I have wondered about is the pommels on some of the elven swords. In the Hobbit, I believe that Glamdring, Orcrist, and possibly Sting were described as having gems in the hilts (it has been a while since I read The Hobbit, so I am not sure), weren't they? I have not seen any models of these swords with gems in the hilts. Maybe I am thinking about something else, but I was sure that I remembered reading somewhere about jewel encrusted hilts or something. "There were lots of clothes, too, hanging on the walls - too small for trolls, I am afraid they belonged to victims - and among them were several swords of various makes, shapes, and sizes. Two caught their eyes particularly, because of their beautiful scabbards and jewelled hilts. "Gandalf and Thorin each took one of these; and Bilbo took a knife in a leather sheath. It would have made only a tiny pocket-knife for a troll, but it was as good as a short sword for the hobbit." - The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein, chapter 2 |
