I'm posting this for a friend, beware.
PLEASE HELP STOP SWORD FRAUD: Recently an amateur "sword restorer" from Harrisonburg, Virginia named Michael Antonio has taken dozens of pictures of my work and quotes from my website and re-posted them under his own name......... Obviously if he had any ability, skill or integrity he would be able to take his own pictures and he wouldn't have to steal from me. If you belong to a sword forum or message board, please do the sword community a favor and post some warnings about this guy. I hate to think of pictures of my work being used to victimize innocent people. Thanks,
