Thier shop is run like a playground. I have seen thier production and am far
from impressed. I know of one occation where a sword was ordered and it came
damaged by production. Another where a sword came damaged so badly it was
returned 4 times, once the same sword sent was returned in a different box.
Thier prices are so inflated I can give you three names that will produce a
CUSTOM made item similar or better for up to %50 less, or several companies
that can be ordered from up to %50 less. But those companies want a minimum
order. >

Thier helmets pass on a infrequent basis, they are not concerned about the sca
legality of the slits or gauge of steel. They may create a helm of perfect
quality and legality, but I have seen others produce reliable quality and
beauty for less $.

I am a completely opinionated by companies that overinflate thier prices just
because they can. I have no tolerance for companies that then lower thier
quality to cut further costs. I can be contacted to give out these
competetors and you can then shop around.
