Which of the most famous from the Hobbit, LOTR and The Silmarillion would you like to have. Please don't say Anduril or Narsil because you fancy Aragorn from the movies or because it is much more important. And please give a reason.

I like Glamdring because of its history and I think Turgon and Gandalf are both dudes.

For me it would have to be Gil-Galad's spear, Aiglos. Two reasons, because I like Gil-Galad and other is because I think Aiglos is a good name.

The sword of Turin(what was the name of the sword again), because I love the story, and he is quite the sad guy.

Can I say Sting? (and, no I do not fancy Frodo)

I have just always liked it because of the history that it has, and how it was found by Bilbo in The Hobbit, and then passed down to Frodo in the LOTR. I like how it is something consistant that draws the two stories together, and just to add, I like how it helps Sam defeat Shelob

I'd say Gurthang because I like Turin and it (along with Anguirel) is the most powerful sword ever in ME.

I'm not sure I want to have any of the named weapons from Middle Earth.
Too many of their owners died premature deaths carrying them.
