I saw this site a few years ago when I first started putting a kit together; it looks like they've upped their game in the past year or so, I'm happy to see it.

They do have a nice site and the owner will get out of his way to help you. Not to mention having some different Albion models you can't get anywhere else.

I bought an unfinished shield from them last year. IMO it's a little heavy, which is neither here nor there. The only real drawback was that, as delivered, the grip was a square 2"x2" and needed LOTS of work before it was usable. And since they use historic assembly methods (looks very realistic) I couldn't readily remove the grip. So all the shaping and sanding was done with the grip still on the shield. It was quite a difficult task that has yet to be completely finished.
As for doing business with them, they were very responsive and quick with the order.
