In the Third Age of Middle-earth, the old and powerful Wizard Gandalf
and his Company of Dwarves came upon a troll lair in Rhûdaur. There they
found two ancient Elven swords and a knife. The exact history of these
blades is not certain, but when the Elf lord Elrond examined them in
Rivendell he determined they were well-known and ancient blades used in
the Goblin Wars to slay many Orcs in the First Age. The sword named
Glamdring was forged by the high Elves of the West, in the hidden city
of Gondolin. Glamdring survived, only to be found thousands of years
later by Gandalf and his companions. Glamdring is an exquisite example
of the height of Elven sword craft, and a weapon befitting an Elven
king. Gandalf claimed Glamdring for his own and wielded the sword
through the Quest for Erebor, using it against the Goblins of the Misty
Mountains, and later on the quest to destroy the One Ring. The great
sword remained at Gandalf’s side until the end of his days in
Middle-earth. This authentically detailed replica is a reproduction of
the actual filming prop built by Weta Workshop of New Zealand and used
in the motion picture, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. United
Cutlery, industry leader in fine movie reproductions, has meticulously
recreated the prop using only the finest grade materials and
craftsmanship. Close attention to detail was a top priority. The
Glamdring sword is 47 5/8-Inch(120.9cm) overall, featuring a stainless
steel blade, solid metal hilt parts, faux blue jewel inlays, and a
genuine leather-wrapped grip. It is presented with a wood wall display
and includes a certificate of authenticity.
