I got an armory set a long time ago at some old department store. Here's
the weapons they had;
Battle axe - black throwing(?) axe maybe half or less as long as old pikes,
but blade was just as big. This was a good weapon and I still use it for
special figures.
Chrome sword - almost exact same size as regular castle swords but a little
different and of course chrome. This is also used by certain figs today, a
good weapon.
Grey shield - pretty crappy and didnt fit in with rest of lego guys. They
had lame stickers on them usually too.
Grey lance - pretty crappy again, didn't fit in either. The handles are
bent back towards end of lance.
Brown crossbow - fits in pretty good with castle guys, used by various
mercenaries in my Kingdom
Brown Spear - this is also a very good weapon, a liitle longer than Lego one
so it works good for things like putting your small wolfpack clip-on flag on
at the top.
OK, that was all the weapons, some garbage, some real good, I wish I would
have picked up more. I will put all the pieces together if anyone is
interested and post them.
