Post by: Sir Edward on 2012-08-08, 13:20:57: Yeah, I saw them post about this on facebook last night. It's quite infuriating.

Part of the trouble in finding them though, if they go up for sale, is I think at least some of them are "standard" models, as opposed to custom work that you could identify.
Title: Swords Stolen from Arms & Armor Shop in Minneapolis

These pics are of swords stolen from our shop on August 5th in Minneapolis. Please be on the look out for these at any place swords might be on sale in our area and online for everyone out there in the big old www. While we do not expect to recover much we would like to make it as hard as possible for the bastards who took them to find it hard to gain any benefit from their nasty bit of work. We will post more as we total up the loss. There is a schiavonna made by another maker probably at least twenty years old with a bronze pommel but not sure I have a pic of that.

It was a regular old burglary in the middle of the night we are just glad they took items that belonged to us and not customers orders.

Please keep your eyes peeled and share this information!!!

Let's keep our visors up and eyes peeled, Knights.
