    Our Citadel grad has a sword he earned as a member of the team who held the sword arch for graduating seniors. This was a huge honor. The sword handle needed work. I sent it to be repaired to the Brass and silver workshop. I paid over $700 in advance. The man passed away, and his wife (Silver Vault) took possession of the sword. I was told she had someone who would do the job, so I said yes. Now she won’t return my calls or return the sword.
    Complete theft

    Business Response

    Date: 06/28/2024

    I called and spoke with Ms. O**** after receiving the complaint. I sincerely apologized for the length of time for the repair, as well as my lack of response. Following my husband’s passing (the master silversmith), his son who was trained by his father, agreed to finish this project. I deeply regret that the subsequent death of a grandson has caused further delay, and have assured Mrs. O**** that I remain committed to have her son’s sword completed.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.




    Sincerely,
    Carol O***

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation.
