Atlanta Cutlerty and Museum Replicas, once considered the "best in the business" and perveyors of Del Tin swords made of K-5 German steel but sadly devolved into mere peddlers of stainless steel wall hangers with a service department more likely to screw up an order than to get it right, are linked to in this text, but the Undefeated Swordmaster's recomendation is to avoid doing business with them if the item you're shopping for is available at any of the other sources listed here - even at a higher price!

All of the time you'll save that you would otherwise spend in sending back items you never ordered and hassling with them on the phone could be better spent honing your fencing skills or playing with that cute lil' Tammy Shigiri!




Here's my recent letter to them:


Dear Nancy,

I am very sad to have witnessed the decline in both the quality of merchandise and in the field of service that Museum Replicas / Atlanta Cutlery have exhibited in the last few years.

Hank would be sorely disappointed.

I first became a Museum Replicas customer in the late 1980's and I still own some of the pieces I bought back then; their superiority to the products you now sell is very painfully obvious.

Back then yours was one of only a very few outlets available for any such products.

Today, however, such is no longer the case; with precious few exceptions, there aren´t many items in your catalog that can´t be found elsewhere for better prices - and without any mistakes in order fulfillment.

The "mistakes" made by your pickers and shippers have increased until I am quite frankly sick and tired of it.

I remember when I could place an order and anticipate its arrival in high spirits; it has come to the point, however, where I cannot place an order with you without wondering which aspect of that order is going to be screwed up, as at least one thing in each and every order over the past three years has been.

Yes, you may send a "pick-up" for the item you sent by "mistake."

Do not, however send anything else; instead, refund my monies, cancel my "round table" membership, and cancel all outstanding orders or backorders.

I am furthermore happy to accept your offer to remove me from your mailing list; please be certain that no further solicitations from either Museum Replicas or Atlanta Cutlery are addressed to either Post Office Box 2986 or to 2150 North Windmill Way in Chino Valley, Arizona (zipcode 86323) - to either me or to my wife Karin Wolf.

Sincerely,



Benjamin Robert "Bob God" Taylor
