We don't appear to claim to have inspired him to write LotR etc - but we have used the characters on stamps and coins (http://www.tolkienshop.com/contents/en-uk/d152.html).

And I have found a book review (http://www.transceltic.com/celticmythsandstories/bookreviews/1003-legendofsigurdandgudrun) of 'Sigurd and Gudrun' which points out our connection to that!
