Frode has one charmed against steel.

Hother has another; a mail-coat of proof is mentioned and their iron meshes are spoken of.
"Helmets" are used, but not so carefully described as in "Beowulf's Lay"; crested helmets and a gilded helmet occur in Bearca-mal and in another poem.
"Banners" serve as rallying points in the battle and on the march.

The Huns' banners are spoken of in the classic passage for the description of a huge host invading a country.

Bearcamal talks of golden banners.
"Horns" (1) were blown pp at the beginning of the engagement and for signalling.

The gathering of the host was made by delivery of a wooden arrow painted to look like iron.
