If it is an ethical escape you seek, you can always just say "well, I know I screwed up, and if I had 2 weeks of time I'd go back and replay from that point" and if you mean it, well then I can forgive you. From there just get the items you need legally, figure out what he would charge to forge for you, and then place all the items and the correct amount of gold (I think you can do this) in a box outside Cromwell's shop. Use the cheat code and there you go. You still did the work to put the items together, you just couldn't actually get Cromwell to forge them. It's not as satisfying as saying "I never had to use a cheat code" but it's one up on just making them out of the blue.
