"However, Chris Smith, in his book "The Lord of the Rings Weapons and Warfare" suggests that it was given to the Wood Elves, and later was bequethed to King Elessar, and resided in the armories of Minas Tirith."

Is this a reputable source? Does it apply here? Where did he get this notion? --[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 17:55, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I believe the books is based on the movies. Ausir 19:02, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

In that case do we remove that line from the article? --[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 23:30, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I removed the above line from the article until we can find confirmation from Tolkien's own writings. --[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 01:37, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I think that a picture of the movie-made Glamdring should be included on this page as well.

I agree.

[edit] Reproduction swords

I understand that many reproduction Tolkien swords are rather brittle affairs, being designed for display rather than use. Is there any explanation needed as to what "well made" means in the context of glamdring replicas? Ojw 22:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
