Hi All,
It’s with great regret that I am selling the last of my LoTR collection – the Sword of Boromir.
This is the last one to go because it has always been my favourite, not least because it looks the most historically accurate (albeit with a few fantasy flourishes!).
As it’s a wall-hanger, it obviously hasn't been used for any cutting or anything like that! It’s just sat on the wall, looking pretty.
I believe that this sword has now been discontinued, and is quite hard to find. I did manage to find one being sold in the UK, mint in box, although it demands quite a high price tag!:

Mine isn’t in mint condition, though – there are a few scuffs to the finish on the cross and blade, just from dry-handling and hanging on the plaque. Nothing major, and you could always pretend they’re from a recent battle with orcs!
There is also the tiniest bit of movement in the pommel: if you try and unscrew it, it moves a fraction of a millimetre. Not noticeable unless you really try to move it, however – the hilt is still good and solid.
Also comes with the original box, certificate of authenticity, and display plaque (also a little scuffed – see pictures).
I'm asking £200 plus postage. As the package is quite a heavy one, postage in the UK will be £14 without insurance; or £23 with insurance, 48-hour delivery, tracked and traced.
Payment by bank transfer, cheque, cash on collection (if you live near Leeds). Paypal is also fine, and I’ll eat the fees.
