Excellent shop that sells beautiful replicas of historic weapons. With absolute regard and care for the customer and the product. Ive purchased a couple of beautiful gun replicas for my movie-work from this shop, and I will be purchasing more. I recommend them highly.

I purchased a replica in good faith earlier this year (I have purchased several items from this company in the past.) I had a problem with the mechanism which started very shortly after purchase, no big deal, just a spring slipped or something. I reported this and was sent a video about the operation of the replica. This had literally nothing to do with the issue as it was solely about the operation of the replica. I asked if they wanted me to attempt to repair it to avoid sending it back. I was happy to try but wanted permission before I did so. They were happy with this and gave me permission to do so. I was unable to repair due to such poor quality screws being used and so said I would need to return. They accepted the return but would not pay for it (even though it was faulty!!) I paid this anyway just to get it sorted. A little time went and I hadn't heard anything so chased, finally finding out it had arrived. (they have a habit of ignoring emails). After a week or so they fixed the replica and to my shock I received an invoice for the repair (for an item that was faulty) I questioned this and was rudely dismissed. I emailed several times again, the emails being ignored making sure I knew that they were essentially holding the replica for ransom until I pay (and also to ship it back to me!!) I had considered taking the matter to court at that point but decided it was not worth my time so paid it. Several weeks past and I STILL had not received the replica back. As I was away one of my colleagues rang and after several attempts was finally able to speak to Colin Hodgson who was both rude and aggressive and basically said that as I had dared to call him out on his behaviour he was not going to return the item. The only way I managed to finally get this back was to start court proceedings against them and even after they finally agreed to send it back chose to send me a rude email. In that email he even admitted that he wasnt going to charge but just decided to because I tried to repair the gun (which HE told me to!!!) The only good thing is that now I never have to deal with this petty little thief again. Do yourselves a favour and avoid this company.

Bought a replica gun for my Husband's birthday. The service was first class, helpful and friendly. Arrived quickly and well packaged. My husband was thrilled with the quality. Would buy again.
