This officially licensed reproduction sword from The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey, is an ancient example of Elven swordcraft and a weapon befitting an Elven King.

Long lost in a Troll Hoard, The Wizard Gandalf recovered this ancient sword and claimed it as his own.

In the Third Age of Middle-earth, the old and powerful Wizard Gandalf and his Company of Dwarves came upon a troll lair in Rhudaur. 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 swordcraft, 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.

The name Glamdring means 'Foe-Hammer', and engraved into the cross guard are ancient Elvish runes that translate as 'Turgon, King of Gondolin, wields, has and holds the sword Gamdring, foe of Morgoth's realm, hammer to the Orcs.'
