A guy we know in Biloxi lost everything to Katrina, including a 30 year collection of swords. He is a huge Highlander fan and was well along in some great Lord of The Rings stuff. I collect swords, but not usually the movie replicas (although I think I'm going to have to get a couple of the LOTR swords) I knew it would be a long time if ever before he would be able to do anything about collecting...as these things are NOT inexpensive, and he has 7 teenagers.
So I got him this....it's Anduril-the sword of the kingdom of Gondor reforged from the shards of Narsil and given to Strider. It has writing along the center of the blade and this thing is massive, just over 4'. It's an exact replica of the one used in the trilogy. Anyway, I hope he likes it.
