[TheForge] Fw: [EKMetalsmiths] Fw: [SCA- STOLEN SWORDS!!!

Mon Sep 22 23:12:00 2003

Out of whose area? I'm not familiar with the location of the theft so have
no idea where they might be close to. I am planning to hit a huge flea
market in three weeks and would take the list if it were likely some of the
items might show up there.
