Narsil.
Earlier designs. I initially had what I thought was the perfect design for Narsil, quite a simple and deadly-looking sword based on a real one in a German museum. Peter, however, wasn't subscribing to my certitudes, and was only too content to oblige me to forage farther afield. I was quite happy with the top version, but eventually the design process wandered back to a more classicla blade, though I am still very proud of the pierced pommel. (Typical Numenorian, as any history book can tell you...)
