[Ansteorra] Seeking source for copper clasps

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings Zubeydah,

I believe Thomas the Lapidary had some clasps of copper at the last 
Gulf War. I think the ones I saw were copper leafs, but I'm sure he 
could create something different, but the time is short.

The business card I have from him gives this website, 
ThomastheLapidary.com and an email address of Thlapidary at aol.com

He is up in the Indiana (the Middle Kingdom?). I can send the rest of 
his contact info by email if you wish.

I have bought from him and he has done some special work for me for 
several years. Currently I have a sword scabbard tip on commission from 
him.

Stefan
