Gurthang
What happened to Túrin's sword after he killed himself on it? And what about it's original twin blade, Anguirel, made from the same meteor? Were they both lost somewhere along the way?
I'm searching for an excuse to have part of either Gurthang (Anglachel) or Anguirel survive into the Third Age of Middle Earth. Is there any basis for this?

I don't get the point of giving names to swords.

Gurthang was buried with Turin, but it also broke in two after Turin killed himself with it |

Didn't Eol himself carry the other sword? And if so I would assume it was lost in Gondolin.

Anguirel, the mate of Anglachel, was stolen by Maeglin when he departed to Gondolin. It may have been lost in the fall of Gondolin or even taken from Maeglin when he was captured by the Enemy.
To answer the original query, I don't think it's likely that either survived.

I'd say Maeglin had more than a few problems...
