The Story of the Glamdring
The wizard’s sword. Glamdring — the Foe-hammer — is the ancient Gondolin blade Gandalf carries from the troll-hoard of The Hobbit to the Battle of the Black Gate. Our replica reproduces the long tapering blade and distinctive angled guard at full scale.
Famous Battles & Moments
The Troll-Hoard
Recovered alongside Sting and Orcrist, Glamdring returns to the world after an age lost — in the hands of a wizard.
The Bridge of Khazad-dûm
Glamdring faces the Balrog of Moria — a duel that costs a bridge, a wizard, and neither the sword.
The White Rider
Gandalf the White carries Glamdring through Helm’s Deep, Minas Tirith and the Black Gate — orcs call it Beater, and remember why.
History of the Sword
Forged in Gondolin in the First Age for King Turgon, Glamdring is one of the oldest named weapons in Middle-earth — thousands of years older than anything else on the field when Gandalf draws it.
Why Collectors Want It
Glamdring completes the troll-hoard trio with Sting, and it is the blade of the saga’s most loved character. Beside Andúril, it tells the story of the Fellowship’s two leaders.
