I just never thought enough about what weapon it was. I mean, I KNEW it wasn't the blade from the barrows. That wasn't in the movie and I always considered the blades that Aragorn gives the Hobbits as the substitute for the barrow blades. And, although I kind of *knew* Galadriel gave blades to Merry and Pippin and that both Merry and Pippin were given armor of Rohan and Gondor (respectively), somehow in my head I never let those later blades supplant the ones Aragorn gave. So I always thought Merry was using the one Aragorn gave him. I just went to look (out of extreme controversy). I wouldn't have considered the blade he uses on the WitchKing too long because it flashes very quickly and it doesn't look long to me. But the hilt definitely looks like the hilt of the Rohan sword he's swinging around on Dunharrow and it makes total sense that is the blade he'd have on him. What blade it is doesn't matter to any casual fan of the movies. But as a fan of the book, I will admit I regret that little point couldn't have been worked in. I get how it would complicate things too much and I guess it works like a sort of 'easter egg'. If you like the movie, you'll find all sorts of little delights in the book. :-)
