Description
Tolkien’s Lore:
Andúril was forged from the Shards of Narsil for the rightful King of Men Aragorn in 3018 of the third age. The sword then receives a special scabbard in Lothlorien that would protect it from damage.
“ ‘Here is the gift of Celeborn and Galadriel to the leader of your Company,’ she said to Aragorn, and she gave him a sheath that had been made to fit his sword. It was overlaid with a tracery of flowers and leaves wrought of silver and gold, and on it were set in elven-runes formed of many gems the name Anduril and the lineage of the sword. ‘The blade that is drawn from this sheath shall not be stained or broken even in defeat,’ she said.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Adaptation Notes:
In Peter Jackson’s adaptation of the Lord of the Rings, Andúril is presented with its scabbard to Aragorn by Elrond in the Return of the King. In the Fellowship of the Ring film, Celeborn and Galadriel gift Aragorn a long, curved knife instead of a scabbard for Andúril as it was not reforged until the Return of the King movie.

The runes on the blade are Angerthas Cirth:
In Quenyan Elvish, “Andúril”
In modern English, “Flame of the West”
