Hello! (...) That might be correct. BTW: Where do you find the part number of the swords? Is this official? The number isn't printed on the part. Bye Jojo (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.castle)

Simply go to the page with the four dragon links on it, and the link to the page is there. Honestly the page probably doesn't (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.general)

I was looking at a pile of 20 2x2 round plates with the archer's target design on them wondering what earthly good they are. Since the only official round shield looks like a trash can lid and is rare (rare = expensive), I decided to use the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Sep-01, to lugnet.castle)
