Title: Anyone have a sword stolen?
Post by: mpullen on December 09, 2011, 02:03:52 PM
Was looking at the picture in the Houston Chronicle of the stolen musical instruments stolen from a music store in the Austin area.

What caught my eye were a couple of two-handed swords leaning against the car. Since I doubt the music store that was robbed also delt in swords, they were likely stolen elsewhere.

So, anyone in the Austin area missing a sword?

got a link? If it is a Del Tin mercenary sword, the two-hander with the red-cord wrapped handle, I may need to have a talk with someone...

Found it on chron.com. I put "stolen music" in the search box.
Hope this helps.

It is a two hand claymore that is not the Wallace replica. I saw one exactly like this in the shop near the POW at TRF.
