In Norse Mythology, Bald(u)r's weapon?

Does anybody, by any chance, know the type and name of Baldur/Baldr/Balder's weapon in Norse mythology? I've been curious as to this, seeing as most of the other prominent gods have the names of their weapons mentioned (such as Gungnir, Odin's spear, and Mjollnir, Thor's hammer), but haven't been able to find a straight answer as to what Baldur weilds and what it's called. Thanks!

I thought that Baldur was suppose to be the antithesis of weapons....it seems kind of silly for him to have one.

Sorry I don't know what his weapon was. But he was killed by his blind brother with mistletoe. If I find out I'll let you know. Norse mythology is so fascinating.

As far as I know, Baldur never had a weapon named as such. I sure he probably weilded a sword and/or spear, as most of the Norse gods are warriors, but I don't know that his weapons were specifically named.

Thalia has a spectacular aura about
Because he was killed by a trick of Loki, he was not around to fight in the battle of Ragnarok, so he had no weapon associated with him.

Baldur was a musical god anyway, a bard, rather than a warrior.
