Interesting- thank you for the information Deimos! Does anyone have an 18kt version that has been worn for a long time? I'm interested in hearing how it has been holding up.
I had an 18kt ring once that looked new after bring worn for a couple of generations. No polishing or cleaning was done to it. Just worn. My 9kt ring picks up every scratch and knick possible and I am careful with it. Perhaps the 18kt just doesn't show it as well because it's a richer and deeper col...
I know just what you mean. Plus Halfdan and his team have been great to work with! In face I had them create my wife's wedding band and engagement rings! They did an amazing job!!! Here is my One Ring and Ring of Barahir from JH: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/jnicktem/Mobile%20Uploads/image_...
Here are some pictures of the quality issues on my Orcrist: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/jnicktem/imagejpg7_zps7d1d58ca.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/jnicktem/imagejpg6_zpsdeab9ae6.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/jnicktem/imagejpg8_zpsa9ea9e6a.jpg http://i7.photobucket...
I just pulled my Narsil (not the Shards, but the actual sword) from storage as well. It has similar markings on the blade but not as bad. I will be sure to let everyone know how they turn out when I polish the blades.
Likewise. I know that we will never know the answer to this- but I have always wondered what Tolkien would have thought of the Peter Jackson movies? Would he be pleased or disappointed?
[quote=""Lindir""]Wait, are the blade pieces on the shards of Narsil plated in something (nickel or silver plated)? If so, I'm pretty sure I can remember Kit saying that metal glo can damage certain platings so you might want to ask him.[/quote] Thank you for asking that question...
Yes I did have them in plastic. Best I can think of for it to make that pattern is that while in storage it got humid out- and then during the winter the moisture froze with the plastic.
I don't think it is- I have tried using a soft cloth but the marks are on there pretty good. They weren't on there when I first got it but some time while in storage it received those marks.
Hello all- I have just moved into a new home and as such I have been taking a lot of my collectibles out of storage. Some of these items have been in storage for quite some time. One of these is my UC Shards of Narsil. When I took it out there were some strange markings on the blade- I really don't ...
Okay I know this is a really old thread but the Strider outfit is really something that I am interested in. Right now all I have is the UC Strider sword and scabbard, UC Strider knife, the Ring of Barahir, and a Stansborough Elven Cloak. I would really like to find a good jerkin as well as a nice sh...
