I am very sorry to have to inform you that Marco has quite making these all together. He ran into a very thick beaurocratic wall when he tried to establish his own workshop. Jurjen and I did try to help him, but the present Italian system seems to be crippling to any enterprise. I share your regret, for this is indeed a wonderfull set and Marco is a very, very talented artisan. I conside this a big loss for the re-enactment community and he has my deepest sympathy. I do hope at one time or another he will have a chance to take this up again.
