ABJ Glassworks stained glass Sword Pre-Order tomorrow!
Shards of Narsil, Sting, and a new design…



A very quick message to let you know that my next stained glass sword pre-order will go live tomorrow, Friday 17 May, at 6pm EST.
This pre-order will be for the Shards of Narsil, Sting (with the clear or blue/silver blade), and a brand new design - Sam’s sword, the Barrow-Blade of the Brave! It is slightly larger than Sting (as shown in the photo below) and I have painted the hilt to mimic the leather wrapping of the handle as well as the silver and brass metal accents.
In the books, Samwise acquires his barrow blade (along with Merry, Pippin, and Frodo) after their flight into the Barrow-downs east of the Shire and the Old Forest. After their rescue by Tom Bombadil, each of the hobbits took Dúnedain knives from the barrow before continuing their journey to Bree. The barrow-blades, also known as the daggers of Westernesse, were originally wrought in Arthedain and used in the wars with Angmar.
All three sword designs will be available in limited quantities tomorrow, and will ship in 5-6 weeks.
My next core Fantasy Collection re-opening will be the following Saturday, 25 May, time tbd. I will send out another reminder a day or two ahead!
Wishing you all the best,
Ashley
