Glamdring? (LoTR)

Tang from different angle:

Awesome work, +1 for your sacrifice. I have broken just about all my wallhangers. 2 Conan swords in pieces - and cut up for steel stock, my Narnia sword is in pieces and salvaged for the pommel and guard, my CAS Kris sword got angle grinded - I don't know if theres much to salvage of that POS. I am using the Narnia pommel and guard and making a whole new designed sword for them.

That scabbard of yours looks pretty decent I could cast that pommel, and guard, cut the blade up for stainless athame daggers. It's worth more in pieces... I guess the guard and pommel are cast but are they pot metal ow quality stainless I wonder. It would be cool to 'reforge the sword' using the pommel, guard, and scabbard and make it a new blade and grip.

But really how much harder would it be to just continue the tang, cut in the thread, and hey while you're at it use high carbon steel. It's so sad that the market blindly accepts that quality.

Can you confirm is that the UC one?

Thanks man, yes it is the UC one, I have the COA and 'official plaque' somewhere at home. I took a pic of the LOTR brand on the backside of the blade but the flash obliterated it.

Let me tell you, to get those pics I had to take the mem stick out of the camera and put it in my PSP and upload them like that- stupid USB cables keep getting lost!

I actually am keeping the guard, I like it- I think its pretty well made considering it was probably cast; the scabbard is balsa wood core I believe, wrapped in leather. It has held up very well over the years.

So, Brenno...what would you charge to make Glamdring if I provide the guard and scabbard? I'll provide the pommel as well, but the nut's frozen fast in it so I doubt it'd be useful for other than to trace out the design or whatnot.

It was a gift from an ex so I'm not too torn, but I do miss her already. Oh, by the way- you're welcome to the blade if it'd be of any use to you, I certainly won't do much with it. Funny, now that I think of it...I know I saw one very much like it somewhere, but supposedly non-stainless. I gotta go look around.

Ebon: you are better off PM'ing Bren about the price he would charge as asking in open forum is not the best option. Bren likes to keep pricings and arrangements between himself and clients and is a very discreet man to work with, just as a heads up

Wow Paladin... +1 for saving my Glam
Just a quick question though (hard to tell by the pics), was your Glamdring the regular UC version, or the Museum Collection version?

Oh, ok, my bad... ;D

Arno Eckhart from the 'Traumschmiede' made a Glamdring, a custom piece. Probably the best Glamdring you can get. About functionality, there is no sword that functions better, be sure of that. But 'Elbisches Schwert', that's what he calls it, is REALLY pricey, about 2300$, at least. If you want to spend that, go for it. You could also contact him for any other custom fantasy sword that fits your bill.
Ah, it's all written in German, but you'll find 'Glamdring' nontheless, there are many pictures.

Which strider sword? The one from Arno Eckhart?

Me too... that guy is GOOD.
