    Stage Fencing Equipment Theft In Houston

    I have received the following from Ann Harlan, SW representative to the Society of American Fight Directors:

    "The theater department at University of Houston had a break-in and someone stole a bunch of their training equipment:

    Several Epee blades with Saber guards

    Several double-wide Epee blades with saber guards

    Several long-blade daggers fitted with homemade crossguards, plain pine handles and ball pommels

    Several knives with rosewood looking handles."



    If anyone sees these or receives an offer to sell them, send a PM to schlager7. If you can do so at no risk, act like you may be interested in buying. (Do NOT do anything risky.) I have Brian Byrnes number at UH and will call him ASAP (I'm hesitant to just post him phone number but I check by here several times per day.) - schlager7

    I'll admit, it was me.

    On a more serious (I was joking!) note, check ebay. Some of the stuff might show up there.

Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben
