Our expert's notes

Herugrim, the sword of Théoden (Bernard HIll), from Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Théoden was the 17th King of Rohan and was under a spell that took his strength and power. Once the spell was broken by Gandalf The White (Ian McKellen), Théoden wielded Herugrim to fight Sauron’s forces at the Battle of Pelennor Fields, where he was ultimately defeated by the Witch-king of Angmar.

This sword was specially made for the character of Théoden by New Zealand’s Weta Workshop. It was awarded as a prize during a prize draw sponsored by Parker Brothers and New Line Cinema, in which owners of Lord of the Rings-themed tabletop games were given the opportunity to win one of eight weapons, each belonging to a different character. This competition was specifically held to promote the finale of the epic fantasy saga.

Herugrim is crafted with an aluminium blade that shows intentional distressing along the edges. The ornate urethane hilt features two horse heads meeting at the nose, forming a heart. As the sword was given away as a promotional prize by the studio, it is presented in a custom acrylic case with a plaque featuring the film’s title, release date and the New Line Cinema logo.

Accompanying the lot is a certificate of authenticity signed by producer Barrie Osborne. The piece shows minimal signs of wear and is in very fine overall condition. Dimensions (in display): 102 cm x 10 cm x 19 cm (40” x 4” x 7 ½”)
