Tolkien’s Lore:

Narsil was an ancient sword forged by the dwarven smith Telchar in the First Age of Middle-Earth. The blade itself carries no significance until it is wielded by Elendil the Tall during the War of the Last Alliance. He carried Narsil in the Battle of Dagorlad where it shone with the light of the Sun and Moon, and then in the Siege of Barad-dûr where Sauron killed him and the sword broke into two pieces under him as he fell. Elendil’s son Isildur took the hilt shard and cut the One Ring from Sauron’s hand as weregeld for death of his king and father. The Shards of Narsil were taken back to Rivendell and held as an heirloom for the heirs of Isildur until it was reforged for Aragorn during the War of the Ring. 

Adaptation Notes:

In Peter Jackson’s adaptation of the Lord of the Rings, Narsil is first brought to screen in the prologue of the trilogy. During the film’s rendition of this particular battle, Elendil is slain and Narsil shattered by Sauron stomping on it before Isildur uses the hilt shard to cut the Ring from his hand. The multiple Shards of Narsil were stored in Rivendell on a pedestal overlooking the Council of Elrond. Wielded by Elendil actor Peter McKenzie, the original prop was designed by John Howe and made at Weta Workshop in New Zealand by Weta’s Master Swordsmith Peter Lyon.
