The staff? he holds is also represented in many illustartions, it has a sword type handle but doesn't present as a sword. I've seen some of these in the antique shops made of wood but didn't think to ask their signifigance.

Hi Dan. Thanks (again) for the great information.

If you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods, please look me up: I owe you a beer or two. Or three.

By the way, we decided to disable the signature feature on the fora. Prior to opening for business, I was testing the features, and input a signature that I use on another board. Until you mentioned it, I didn't realize it was appearing in my profile. I'm not special, just oblivious at times. Too many balls in the air, I guess.

Best regards,
Andrew
