Question Regarding Anduril Flame of the West

Ladies and Gentlemen, questions in my mind arose while applying Metal Glo and Hansei Sword Oil to my Anduril today.

Was this something that was commercially mass produced, or is this some sort of custom wall mount? Either way this is very interesting.

Question Regarding Shards of Narsil

I've abandoned the idea of chopping up a knock-off Narsil to custom make my own Shards of Narsil. The knock-off I got was such poor quality all-around, and I pretty much made up my mind that I can't bring myself to display such a low quality item despite the cost savings. Having acquired a regular e...
