Glamdring (also called the Foe-Hammer) is a hand-and-a-half sword, forged for Turgon, the King of Gondolin during the First Age, and later owned by the wizard Gandalf.

After Thorin is mortally wounded, his nephews Fíli and Kíli die defending him as he lies on the field of battle.

Bilbo forfeits his share, accepting only two small chests of gold and silver and his suit of mithril chainmail.

Although he puts a stop to the auction and recovers most of his valuables, Bilbo is never again really accepted by the other hobbits who view his adventures with skepticism.
