PLEASE NOTE: Kana will be BACK IN THE OFFICE as of TUESDAY 07/01,
BUT I will not be back in the Office until MONDAY July 7th,
So we will be keeping the Yellow Notification up through JULY 4th Weekend!!
As I still have MOST of our Military Artifacts and SOME of our LE Badges with me on the Road, so there could be delays in shipping!!

We Hope to FINALLY Have this Issue CORRECTED in July or August!!
If you would like to PAY for an Artifact with a CREDIT CARD, please email and I will get an invoice emailed to you ASAP!
We are HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR ORDERS during this time, and we will promptly SHIP MOST orders within ONE Business Day of Receipt of Payment!
