They are all bladed weapons out of fantasy-type stories. Excalibur is of course from the Arthur legends. Sting is the blade carried by Bilbo on his quest to the Lonely Mountain. Grayswandir I recognize, but can't seem to remember where it came from (Corwin of Amber, maybe?). The last three I don't recognize, but the theme is clear enough from the first three. Is that good enough for half-credit? <grin> -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?" ICQ# 12934898 | "As far from Redmond as possible!"
