So did Anguirel fall with Maeglin? What happened to it? Perhaps it was carried out of Gondolin.
Speaking of swords being carried out of Gondolin, how did Orcrist and Glamdring make it out of Gondolin? I seem to recall that one of them was Turgon's sword, but surely he was wearing it when he died. The orcs could have taken it out of Gondolin, but why? In the Hobbit, they hated the sword.
Are there any other instances of "matched pairs" of swords in Middle-earth?
