Dealers in Replicas
Suppliers for historical crafts covers raw materials, but it can be hard to keep track of who sells which finished things too. With the shipping crisis of 2021/2022 its also important to remember where something is shipping from. This page is divided by regions: North America, western Europe, and eastern Europe.
Since many stores import the same inaccurate products from low-wage countries, more stores does not necessarily offer a wider range of products.
