Yeah in the appendecies it says shagrat brought frodo's clothes and belonings to barad dur. so sting is in the dark tower.

................it directly says weapons





but this means if sam never took the ring before frodo was carried off.........it would be in the hands of sauron.

Shadowfax

From the first version of the Epilogue published in HoMe IX: Sauron Defeated:

‘About horses,’ said Merry. ‘How many horses did the Riders lose in the battle, and have they grown lots more? And what happened to Legolas’s horse? And what did Gandalf do with Shadowfax? And can I have a pony soon?’ he ended breathlessly.
‘That’s a lot more than one question: you’re worse than Gollum,’ said Sam. ‘You’re going to have a pony next birthday, as I’ve told you before. Legolas let his horse run back free to Rohan from Isengard; and the Riders have more horses than ever, because nobody steals them any longer; and Shadowfax went in the White Ship with Gandalf: of course Gandalf couldn’t have a’ left him behind. Now that’ll have to do. No more questions. At least not till after supper.’

From the second version:

Q. Horses. Merry is interested in these; very anxious for a pony of his own. How many horses did the Riders lose in the battles, and have they got some more now? What happened to Legolas's horse? What did Gandalf do with Shadowfax?
A. Shadowfax went in the White Ship with Gandalf, of course. I saw that myself. I also saw Legolas let his horse run free back to Rohan from Isengard. Mr. Meriadoc says he does not know how many horses were lost; but there are more than ever in Rohan now, because no one steals them any longer. The Riders also have many ponies, especially in Harrowdale: white, brown, and grey. Next year when he comes back from a visit to King Éomer he means to bring one for his namesake.

I am not so sure. I believe the Mouth of Sauron brought out Frodo's Elven cloak and mithril coat. It doesn't say that he brought out Sting. And that is because after Frodo got stung by Shelob and Sam thought him to be dead, Sam took the ring and Sting. I am pretty sure that Sam had Sting. But i will have to re-read that part and make sure.

Yeah I'm sure thats what happened. Um what happened to Gurthang after Turin's death? It would be cool to reforge it.

Heya.. Sam Gamgee, How could sting be inside Barad-Dur if it were never put heir. Recently I re-read The Retun of the King and it said that Sam still had Sting when he a and Frodo reached
Mount Doom.Also, Frdo had Sting in the Scouring of the Shire at hte near end of the book!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[S & R Gamgee]

Sam has sting in The Two Towers Sam takes it because he thinks Frodo is dead. Later on in the combo on page 933 it says Frodo took Sam's sword and on page 934 it says "Sting I gave to you Sam." If you wanna check for yourself look its in the chapter The Field Of Cormallen when they are at the feast thing. I may be wrong but i coulda sworn Sam had or has it.

 

[Elendil01]

But at the feast thing Sam gives Sting to Frodo and Frodo Refuses at first, But then he said it would have made Bilbo proud so Frodo took it

 

[Sam_Gamgee]

SORRY i forgot sam had borrowed sting...........and therefore shagrat didbn't have it among the things he brought to barad dur...............
