NICK KOSTUROS PRESENTING THE PRICELESS RE-ISSUE OF THE "DRAWN ONCE - STUCK ONCE" SWORD AND DOCUMENTATION TO JUDGE PETE FOOR ON WEDNESDAY - OCTOBER 28, 2009.
PETE ASSUMING HIS FAMOUS POSE THAT BROUGHT HIM FAME AND FORTUNE FORTY YEARS AGO. HOW COULD ANYONE FORGET??
SWORD AS SHOWN WHEN STUCK IN THE "GRINDER" IN MCRD - SAN SIEGO, CALIF. NEAR THIS DAY IN HISTORY.
THE END OF THE SWORD EMBEDDED IN THE GRINDER SHOWS THE GRAPHIC DETAIL AND PAINSTAKINGLY PATIENCE, DEDICATION AND LONG HOURS IT TOOK FOR CRAFTSMAN NICK KOSTUROS TO MAKE THIS PIECE.
THE MAGNIFICENT SWORD AS IT STANDS IN THE CORNER OF JUDGE FOOR'S CHAMBER. A LOT OF EXTREMELY HARD WORK HAD TO BE PERFORMED BY THE ORIGINATOR, THE DESIGNER AND THE SKILLED CALLIGRAPHER IN ORDER TO RE-ISSUE THIS PIECE OF HISTORY.
DISTINGUISHED BOARD INCLUDES: TOM "FITZ" FITZGERALD (ORIGINATOR OF THE ACCLAIMED RE-ISSUED SWORD).
NICK KOSTUROS (DESIGNER AND SKILLED CRAFTSMAN OF THE RE-ISSUED SWORD).
DAVE SMALLIDGE (NOTED CALLIGRAPHER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGNING AND DRAFTING OF THE PRICELESS RE-ISSUED SWORD DOCUMENTATION).
THE INFAMOUS STORY BEHIND THIS PARTICULAR ORIGINAL OFFICERS SWORD CAN ONLY BE TOLD BY ONE PERSON. FEW HAVE HEARD IT; AND BECAUSE OF THIS IT TAKES ON A LIFE OF IT'S OWN THROUGH RUMORS AND MISINFORMED TALES. IF YOU ARE LUCKY, YOU MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE FEW TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL VERSION; IF NOT, YOU CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL SOME DAY.
