Greetings,
The following was stolem while an injured fighter was being attened to by the Chiurgeons at Antir-West War in Eugene Ore. in July 2003.

My thought is that this armor may now be filtering out into the fighting comunity either all together or in parts. I would very much like to recover the armor.

Complete discription:
