Oh. Oh, wow. That's even more evil than I expected.
It seems Maeglin was noted for forging swords 'of steel stronger than had been seen before' (Tolkien Gateway), so it certainly makes sense. And the fact that Glamdring and Orcrist were a mated pair, like Anglachel and Anguirel made by Eol, fits neatly. Oh, and Anglachel glowed... There's certainly more evidence than my 'Nellas is Legolas' mother' theory, for instance.
