I am new to this community.
I would like to ask you a question:
You know if there are references to the colors of the Sommerswerd? It is very frequently described as having a golden blade, but the hilt? The scabbard? The knob? Does the cut or the core of the blade have different colors? If I'm not mistaken, Sommerswerd should be made of gold, silver and very fine steel: where do the colors of silver and steel appear? Is there an official colored picture of the Sommerswerd?
Thank you for your time!
p.s. Sorry for errors in the text, I'm not very good with English.

Apart from the fact it is often mentionned that it has a golden blade, the hilt is not described to my knowledge. For the scabbard, in book 2, section 79, it is mentionned it has a jewelled scabbard. However, later on, Lone Wolf can use a Korlinium Scabbard to hide the power of the sword (a normal-looking scabbard, it's just the inside that is covered in korlinium). As for an official illustration in color, apart from the ones used as cover illustrations for the books, I don't think it exists but someone might prove me wrong. Each artist that made a cover with Lone Wolf holding the Sommerswerd had a different take on it. As for B&W, Gary Chalk's representation of it in book 2 is different from the one by Brian Williams in The Skull of Agarash.

There'll be the colour version of Skull of Agarash that will have it as well soon.

There'll be the colour version of Skull of Agarash that will have it as well soon. It will be published in French first, but we don't know when, neither when (or if) it will be published in English.

Thanks for your answers! Do you prefer the Gary Chalk or Brian Williams version of Sommerswerd?

The first depiction of the SS I saw was the one by Gary Chalk in book 2. Altough I generally prefer Brian Williams work, in this case, Chalk's version is the one I prefer.

There are various coloured depictions of the Sommerswerd on the book covers, as Black Cat says. In addition we have the Lone Wolf computer game on the Switch. You could go on Youtube and watch footage of the game. I found these images online:
