<A HREF="http://store.barrowdowns.com/prodimg/UC1299-Striders-ranger-swd.jpg" TARGET=_blank>Here</A> is Aragorn's Ranger Sword.<P><A HREF="http://www.quintessentialwebsites.com/lordoftherings/movieshots/swords_tn.jpg" TARGET=_blank>Here</A> is a picture of Boromir's sword before and after fighting the Uruk-Hai.<P>I can't seem to find a picture of Boromir actually holding the sword as he says his final oath, but take a look at it. It's his sword.<P>If you think about it, Gondorians are like Vikings in a way. They're proud peoples and they use circular shields. So, shouldn't they also want to die a warrior's death: with a sword in hand? Vikings believed that a warrior that died without a sword in his hand would not go to Valhalla (I think that's what it's called) so... maybe.<p>[ February 24, 2003: Message edited by: Rynoah, the Overly-Happy ]
