[TheForge] SCA? Sword making tools/ prints

Tue Jul 2 23:54:00 2002

I would be quite careful with this auction. The prints look to be in 
"too good" condition. I find it very hard to believe they are over 200 
years old with no soiling, no corners worn, etc.

On a (perhaps) different topic, you can get reprints of at least some of 
Diderot's stuff from Dover (available from Norm Larson, 
[email protected] ) with modern bindings and probably in as good 
condition!
