Don't know anything about this company, nor their products. Company info shows they are out of India, where a lot of repros are coming these days.
Still, it's always a red flag to me when they don't list prices and when their English is so-so.

Probably another Sanjay/Replicators rip-off site. If you look at their German 1887 ammo pouch, you can make out "Schipperfabrik":  Of course, they could be the outfit that makes the stuff for Schipper but given the penchant for Sub-Continent vendors to freely rip off other people's pictures for their websites and the lack of prices makes me very suspicious. I'd stay away. And what's with these jokers- you'd think they'd hire someone who actually knows the English language to write the copy for their site. Jeeze.  |

It's been up and down all day. :-) Think they're maybe feeling the heat a bit?

It now appears that their website has been taken down.

And another one bites the dust... While Militaria Replication may have "bit the dust", Replicators is, as far as I know, still up and running. However, their website hasn't been updated for over a year. Other similar vendors include Fabricators and Paddelaters. Fabricators also sells items on E-Bay. All of these vendors have used the same "shared" photos and item descriptions, and they all appear to be located in India. These "coincidences" make me wonder if they are subsidiaries of a larger "parent" company. |

Funny you should say that...I looked up the web addresses for each and the owners of record are different persons, each in different parts of India. Of course they could all be part of the same crew...
What's always made me suspicious is the their shared tendency to steal pictures from other people's web sites- if they were legit in the truest sense of the word, they would be putting up pictures of their own stuff. Also, ordering is not the easiest and it makes you wonder just how serious they are.
What can I say? It's the insurance fraud investigator in me- used to do it for a living. :-)
