    I’m reading through it right now and don’t see line remotely similar to "thus was preserved the oldest work of men's hands in Middle-earth". No claim or implication that an Elf did not make it. I see it now, you mixed things up. That line was said about the Scepter of Annuminas, not the Ring of Barahir. Commented Sep 24, 2022 at 3:10

    A footnote in Appendix A refers to the scepter of Annúminas (not the ring of Barahir) as "perhaps the most ancient work of Men's hands". Said sceptre was handed down among the Lords of Andúnië.
