Turin did not wield Glamdring, he wielded the black sword, Mormegil while he was Turamber, the master of doom. Which I believe is the best weapon in Arda, except maybe Grond.

Umm, Comic Book Guy, I think the sword that Turin weilded was Anglachel which was later named Gurthang after it was reforged in Nargothrond. I believe the name Mormegil was a name given to Turin by the Elves of Nargothrond. It was Sindarin, meaning "black sword" and was inspired by Gurthang. How about Beleg's bow for a cool weapon?

I believe that the ONE Ring is not a weapon on it's own because it does not do any damage to your foe. It does grant you invisibility but I think it is an illusion technique and not offensive. And according to the lore, the ONE Ring binds all the other Rings together so it's main purpose is helping Sauron to gather the power of all the Rings. And the ONE Ring kept Sauron's power going too.

The greatest weapon is Mormakil, and all the Anglachel and Gurthang and whatever. I mean...
"BLACK SWORD OF NARGOTHROND" That strikes as much fear in me as the Flying Moose of Nargothrond.

gnadalfs sword did glow like frodo's. i don't know if it did when any enemy was around though. i'm pretty sure they only gave off a light when orcs were around, not for any other creatures.

I believe that Orcrist, Glamdring, and Sting were from gondolin. Although i can't remember where I heard/Read that.
