Aragorn had two heirlooms of his line of kings - the ring of Barahir & the the shards of Elendil's sword Narsil. They were given to him by Elrond who had them in his keeping at Rivendell. At that time Elrond revealed the true name of Aragorn (who was called Estel while being fostered by Elrond), his ancestry, and the ancient prophecy of his House. When, many years later, Aragorn decided the time was right to fulfill the prophecy, he had the sword that was broken reforged and renamed it Anduril. and the rest so to speak was history.

I am sure that he also had a more serviceable blade that he used in his pre-king years against his foes.

btw - welcome to the Downs!!!!
