Has anyone purchased one of the chinese made Ranger swords from the Lord of the Rings series? I am interested to see if they have steel hilt components rather than cast zinc alloy. I might be interested in cannibalizing one.

The pictures look good, but at $39.98 I don't think it would even be worth the price of shipping.

I dare say the hilt parts on all those wallhangers would be cast pot-metal (zinc alloy as you say) and largely hollow. I don't think you want to be canibalizing them. Thats why I haven't done anything with those High Elven King sword parts Jason. Though one day I will cast them to solid brass or bronze.
That swordnarmoury one 'may' not be. I think a brushed / painted finish will give away the pot metal ones. That one kinda looks polished so maybe it is stainless.

As sin9ty says, the description of that sword says that the guard is stainless steel. Not sure I'd want to order anything from a company whose phone number spells out " ok sword" 1-800-mediocre blades 1-800-nearly average 1 800- you could do worse
