[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8465475, member: 2844"]Although the outcome was good, in the sense that it led to your inquiry and this thread, I doubt that guy's collection was the result of looting. The swords were replicas, as far as I could see. The jewellery was of the type that used to be sold by the basketloads in Afghan markets, which is probably why he had so much of it. Don't get me wrong, it was nice, but not museum or collectors' standard.[/QUOTE]
