A Weta Workshop Master Swordsmith Collection Replica of the Witch-king of Angmar's Sword and Scabbard from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Witch-king of Angmar (multiple actors)-Sauron's (Sala Baker) lieutenant and the leader of the Nazgul-wielded his flaming, pitted broadsword throughout the trilogy until he was slain by Eowyn (Miranda Otto).

The Witch-king's sword was designed by Warren Mahy and made at Weta Workshop by master swordsmith Peter Lyon, with leatherwork crafted by franchise costume technician Darin Gordine. This replica is one of only 15 made from Lyon's original design as part of Weta's 2019 "Master Swordsmith" collection. The Master Swordsmith collection replicas are hand-made by Lyon, the original creator of the swords for the film, and made with exclusive steel blades. Steel blade swords were made for the films themselves in extremely limited quantities due to the expense of their creation, and the weight for actors.

This sword consists of a genuine tempered spring steel blade with a curved crossguard and a spiked pommel fitted to a wood-worked and leather-covered grip hand-crafted by Gordine. Also included are a fitted black leather scabbard with a pointed steel tip, two matching leather and steel straps, and a carved wooden case affixed with Weta and New Line Productions plaques. Though opened, the lot remains in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of use and includes a Weta Workshop Certificate of Authenticity. Dimensions: 59.5" x 9.75" x 4" (151.25 cm x 25 cm x 10.25 cm)

Estimate: $15,000 - 20,000
