Elrian has just left Hobbiton.

That's an interesting question. It would be safe to say that the Elves took their family heirlooms back into the west with them. But whether x would take them back if y offered them is a mystery. I don't think they would need swords in the west, but jewels and things like that they might share among family members.
Turgon was the only King of Gondolin so it had to have been his sword. If I remember right Elros got most of the battle type heirlooms of their house, like the Axe of Tuor and the sword of Thingol. Elrond knew Gandalf would have more use of Glamdring than he would, maybe that's why he never laid a claim. He may have had a weapon that came from another ancestor, but I don't recall if he did.
