    Museum Replicas is owned by the Windlass Brothers, who also own Atlanta Cutlery. The bulk of the merchandise offered through the MR catalogue is made at one of several factories they own in India.

    I have visited their sword works in India and it is a first class operation, capable of turning out first class swords and daggers. The costuming on offer in the MR catalogue is, quite frankly, made down to a price and, in this instance, it shows.

    It is doubtful that any complaint (even one made to US Postal Authorities) will have any material affect on their over-all business practices. It really is a matter of "caveat emptor".

    Other companies such as Gold Bros are also made down to a price but at least they bear a closer resemblance to the genuine article.
