An Omaha-area ad agency is looking for Knight's Armor (mostly the helmet, "shiny metal, more authentic the better with face guard/visor, etc.") They are looking to borrow, barter, "exchange for first borns", etc. to use this helmet/armor for some project.

Chris Darmon is the contact, and he can be reached at 402-965-4327 or you can e-mail him as "cdarmon" at "bozelljacobs.com".

If any of the armored fighter folks in the Omaha area want to help them out, give Chris a call or e-mail. (And let me know if you work something out!)

Not sure how appropriate this is for this forum, but I have a one-of-a-kind collector's sword for sale on Ebay---

I say one-of-a-kind because this is literally the only one out there, it's a custom job and as such totally unique, though it's a display piece. Again, if this is the wrong place for this, I'll delete the post without a word.
