There's enough argument about what constitutes "canon" within the scope of the
books, let alone making the films a part of it!
I wouldn't grant anything in the movies as "part of the lore".

That was rather my point: that Sauron's possession and/or use of a notably powerful melee weapon should have made some mark on the histories, like Morgoth's
Grond did. What reference is there in the books to Sauron's armor?
