Default reputable dealers

What is the general consensus out there regarding the Ruptured Duck? I've heard good and not so good things regarding this merchant.

I've been pleased with every item I've purchased from The Ruptured Duck. Bill's one of the Best!

Bill's a standup guy. I gotten several items from him - from cufftitles to daggers - all quality pieces with a lifetime quarantee. He's even helped me when acquiring items from other source and he didn't make a penny!

Most likely if you want something in particular just ask and he probably has it!

As for the other seller linked from his site - everything looked legit to me.

Agree- Bill is a great dealer. Honest and willing to take time out to answer questions. As another national dealer said "He is one of the few good guys in this business. "

Default Ruptured Duck -- Bill Shea Top Notch

We recently purchased some items from Bill and I was very impressed with his service and knowledge. I communicated with Bill on the telephone and he was very accomodating to our requests. (As you notice we are in the far North--Canada)

We admire his honesy and integrity when purchasing Third Reich items . We have been burnt on previous purchases from other sources, and its nice to have some trust in a dealer(See my previous post tonight---OUCHHH).

Regards
Al & Indra
