Quoted by derekbessette, of the White Council forums:

In the Silmarillion, at the fall of Gondolin, Ecthelion, the elven Captain of the guards, slays Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs. Glamdring, Orcrist, and Sting all were made in Gondolin. This leads me to presuppose that:

1. Ecthelion of the guards carried a Gondolin weapon.
2. Balrogs are vulnerable to Gondolin weapons (Gothmog dying).
3. Gandalf carried a Gondolin weapon, and fought a Balrog most certainly not as powerful as Gothmog.
4. Gandalf was a Maia, an angel, much more powerful than an elf-lord like Ecthelion.
