That's a great photo right there! I've seen most/all of those swords photographed individually, but here you can really get a sense for the differences in dimension and proportion. Several of the blades bear interesting inscriptions.
Thanks for the link about the axe also, interesting to see what the described "brass decoration" looks like.
