I see a shield, a flag, and an axe. Maybe some castle/medieval sets in there? Might be worth comparing to parts lists of castle sets from that era. Are these from before or after the 2004 light-grey colour debacle?

The flag, sword, axe and shield were all in a castle set I got for Christmas in the mid 80s! I presume they kept producing sets with them well after that though.

Yep, recognize them from sets I got in the early 90s!

Brickset.com might help you jog your memory and identify some sets, after that finding instructions might be another challenge though...

Well you sent me off down a little rabbit hole. The set I got was in 1984. Looks like they kept producing sets with that shield type well into the late 90s.

There's a video here that covers everything from 1978.

edit: didn't see your recommendation until after but appreciate it :)
