This
full-sized sword, which measures nearly three feet in length, from tip
to hilt is styled beautifully with a bronze guard and pommel. The
handgrip was crafted with a raised middle section of three bronze rings.
A wide fuller groove runs down 3/4 of the blade to reduce the weight,
yet still retain critical blade strength. Eowyn achieved true heroism as
she succeeded in the slaying of the Witch King and his fell steed.
Constructed with a 30-1/8" tempered 420 J2 stainless steel blade. The
handle features a solid metal guard and pommel with antiqued brass
plated finish, the hilts are cast in the symbols of the famed horsed of
Rohan and the grip is genuine leather wrapped. Includes a parchment
certificate of authenticity and 11" x 10-5/8" x 3/4" wood display
plaque. 36-1/2" overall.
Born in Edoras, Eowyn suffered the early death
of her parents, and was forced to look after her ailing uncle, King
Theoden, whose health was rapidly diminishing under the increasing
control of Saruman and Grima Wormtongue. The beautiful and strong Eowyn
was trained as a Shield-maiden, and was considered to have surpassed
many Rohirrim men in terms of craft and skill.
Against her uncles wishes, a disguised Eowyn rode with the Rohirrim to
the Pelennor Fields along with the hobbit, Merry, in defense of their
fallen king. Eowyn achieved true heroism as she succeeded in the slaying
of the Witch King and his fell steed, however, she also suffered a
heinous injury during the crusade. After being healed by King Elessar,
Eowyn finally abandoned her passion for battlefield grandeur and found
true love in the arms of Faramir. |
