The Lord of the Rings movies were based on the trilogy of books that had the same name. These movies were very true to detail and even kept that up with the swords that were created and used by the characters on film. There are many different kinds of characters each with their own unique swords and also armies with a certain type of sword. In order to collect all the Lord of the Rings swords you will need plenty of room to display them all, since each and every one is worth it.

There are two kinds of Lord of the Rings swords to purchase. The one kind consists of officially licensed editions that are limited in the number produced. This makes them valuable and even more so if you have the entire series with the certificate of authenticity. There is good reason to believe that the value will only increase with time since these movies are well on their way to becoming classics, just like the books, and in no way are less popular today than they were at the time of their release.

The other group consists of Lord of the Rings swords that are just simply copies of the ones from the movies. The difference being that they have no license, are unlimited in production and in some cases even are battle ready so that you can actually use them. Of course the only ones that can be battle ready are the ones like the sword of Aragorn which are for the most part similar to real swords used in history. The pure fantasy swords, such as from the Witchking, are purely for decorative or collecting purposes.

You can also purchase Lord of the Rings swords if you are simply a fan of a certain character or want to have something to show from the movies. The most popular swords include Anduril the Sword of King Aragorn, Narsil of Aragorn, Glamdring the Sword of Gandalf and Hadhafang the Sword of Arwen. Others include the two used by Legolas, Strider’s sword and Elfen swords.  Regardless of whether licensed or not, it is important to properly mount these swords to keep them safe and out of the hands of children.
