This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Whoops! I guess there's only one cloisonne. Still, if a cloisonne of a 
person of no particular interest to the pawnbroker is worth "a bit of 
money", having one of done of a specific person could be a considerable 
expense, especially if the image was supplied by a known artist like 
Fechin. (Though I think Casdoe's dad is misrembering Rudesinde as 
"Fechin" when he talks about the scampy, long-limbed boy artist.)
