Lord of the Rings - Shards of Narsil - Limited Edition UC1296                    # 3001/5000
Narsil is perhaps the most famous sword in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. At the end of the second age of "Middle-Earth," Narsil's blade was shattered, as Elendil fell during the Last Alliance of Elves and Men in the great battle against Sauron, creating the Shards of Narsil. Isuldur, Elendil's son, then used the broken hilt of Narsil to cut the One Ring from Sauron's finger, breaking the bonds of his power, banishing his evil shadow into the darkness.
The Shards were kept in Rivendell, the house of Elrond, for safe keeping. Legend has been told that the sword would one day be reforged and the king would return. Engraved on the pommel are runes in the Elven language of Sindarin that say "Narsil essenya, macil meletya Telchar carnron Nvrotess", which translates to "Narsil is my name, a mighty sword; Telchar made me in Nogrod".
The Shards of Narsil are presented on a 47" solid wood wall display plaque. The hilt is removable and the shards are permanently mounted on the massive plaque. This officially licensed adult collectible is strictly limited to 5000 pieces and is individually serialized for authenticity on the cloisonne medallion that adorns the front of the display plaque.
Includes a parchment certificate of authenticity, along with a second certificate personally autographed by production artist John Howe, who designed the hilt on the Narsil sword and played a major role in designing many of the other swords featured in the Lord of the Rings trilogy of feature films.
