If the markings had been of his CLAN, and not of the maker, he would have a claim to state because the items would belong to that clan. Since the marking of his CLAN is not present, it neither belongs to that clan nor the members of it, it was only made by one from his clan and there is no proof that it was ever kept by the clan.  The dwarf can feel pride that he is related to the master craftsman who forged such fine items, but they were likely sold to this Haran fellow.The paladin was commanded by his god to retrieve the items of Haran and use them in the quest, but he also has no claim. He can offer to the party (the rightful owners of both items) to keep these things in trust until his quest is completed. When finished, if he wants to keep them, he can offer to compensate everyone including the dwarf for the shield. The dwarf was not present for the finding of the spurs so he gets no compensation. That would be the paladin thing to do.</blockquote>
