The Hobbit weapon replicas
The Hobbit replicas depict weapons carried by recognisable characters and items connected with the story. The category includes full-size swords and daggers, smaller letter openers, miniature sets and scabbards. Dimensions and display methods vary considerably, so a character name alone is not enough to match a stand or accessory.
Main examples include Bilbo Sting, Thorin Orcrist, Gandalf Glamdring, the Sword of Fili, the Morgul Blade and the Fighting Knives of Tauriel. United Cutlery and The Noble Collection also made miniature Sting, Orcrist and Tauriel pieces. The Sting scabbard is a separate product and must match the specific sword version.
Full size or miniature
Check whether the description refers to a full-size replica, miniature or letter opener. Then compare length, material, weight and any supplied stand or plaque. Licence, steel and set contents should be stated directly on the individual product page.

Displaying the replica
Place the replica on a stable support suited to its weight and length. Clean metal and decorative surfaces gently according to their materials and instructions. Do not rest the weight on delicate guard elements. Keep miniatures and documents with the original packaging when it forms part of the set.
